I followed the Microsoft instructions for sharing Contacts (plus Calendar &
Tasks if desired.) Created a copy, copied it to the B laptop. Then
configured B to point to the copy as the Contacts file. Everything looks
OK,
however, Distributions groups cannot find the contacts within. It appears
like a pointer is lost. Any ideas?

That's likely true. DLs reference contacts from their original location.
DLs are quite fragile and many of us simply don't use them any more.
Instead we use categories or separate contacts folders.
