Configurei guias com sucesso na Barra de Ação usando o exemplo a seguir do próprio Google emhttp: //developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/FragmentTabs.htm como base. Meu código é assim:

public class Main extends SherlockFragmentActivity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);        

    getSupportActionBar().setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

    ActionBar.Tab tab1 = getSupportActionBar().newTab();
    tab1.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_tab_example_selected);
    tab1.setTabListener(new TabListener<Tab1>(this, "A", Tab1.class));
    getSupportActionBar().addTab(tab1);

    ActionBar.Tab tab2 = getSupportActionBar().newTab();
    tab2.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_tab_example_selected);
    tab2.setTabListener(new TabListener<Tab2>(this, "B", Tab2.class));
    getSupportActionBar().addTab(tab2);

    ActionBar.Tab tab3 = getSupportActionBar().newTab();
    tab3.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_tab_example_selected);
    tab3.setTabListener(new TabListener<Tab3>(this, "C", Tab3.class));
    getSupportActionBar().addTab(tab3);

    ActionBar.Tab tab4 = getSupportActionBar().newTab();
    tab4.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_tab_example_selected);
    tab4.setTabListener(new TabListener<Tab4>(this, "D", Tab4.class));
    getSupportActionBar().addTab(tab4);     
}

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater();
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
    return true;
}

public class TabListener<T extends Fragment> implements ActionBar.TabListener {
    private Fragment mFragment;
    private final SherlockFragmentActivity mActivity;
    private final String mTag;
    private final Class<T> mClass;

    /** Constructor used each time a new tab is created.
      * @param activity  The host Activity, used to instantiate the fragment
      * @param tag  The identifier tag for the fragment
      * @param clz  The fragment's Class, used to instantiate the fragment
      */
    public TabListener(SherlockFragmentActivity activity, String tag, Class<T> clz) {
        mActivity = activity;
        mTag = tag;
        mClass = clz;
    }       

    /* The following are each of the ActionBar.TabListener callbacks */

    public void onTabSelected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {

        // Check if the fragment is already initialized
        if (mFragment == null) {
            // If not, instantiate and add it to the activity
            mFragment = Fragment.instantiate(mActivity, mClass.getName());
            ft.add(android.R.id.content, mFragment, mTag);
        } else {
            // If it exists, simply attach it in order to show it
            ft.attach(mFragment);
        }
    }

    public void onTabUnselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {

        if (mFragment != null) {
            // Detach the fragment, because another one is being attached
            ft.detach(mFragment);
        }
    }

    public void onTabReselected(Tab tab, FragmentTransaction ft) {
        // User selected the already selected tab. Usually do nothing.
    }
}
}

Com isso, tenho várias guias que alternam entre os diferentes fragmentos de cada guia. No entanto, meu problema começa quando em uma guia e a alteração de fragmentos de dentro de uma guia. Este é o problema

Quando estou emTab 1, Troco o fragmento inicial carregado na guia por um novo fragmento. Depois vou paraTab 2 que mostra seu fragmento inicial. No entanto, a visualização do fragmento foi trocada emTab 1 ainda aparece atrás deTab 2 fragmento:

Este é o código que estou usando atualmente para alterar o fragmento de dentro deTab 1:

// Create new fragment and transaction
    FragmentTransaction transaction = ctx.getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
    transaction.setCustomAnimations(R.anim.slide_in_left, R.anim.slide_out_right);

    // Replace whatever is in the fragment_container view with this fragment,
    // and add the transaction to the back stack
    transaction.replace(container, fragment, tag);

    if(addToBackStack)
        transaction.addToBackStack(tag);

    // Commit the transaction
    transaction.commit();

Tudo isso está sendo realizado através da ActionBar Sherlock e da biblioteca de suporte do Google v
