Yes. Components must always create packets with valid to and from addresses on
the main stanza element. In the case of a vcard set, the to attribute should be
the jid of the user you're trying to change, and the from address should be the

<iq type="set" to="foo at bar.com" from="your-component">...</iq>

That said, I'm not sure JSM will allow this to work correctly. IE, mod_vcard
probably has some checks to make sure only the user is allowed to change their
own vcard. You could of-course change mod_vcard to allow packets from your
component.
