David,

I don't think I received that one.

I personally don't believe that permissions are the issue here.

Me neither.

Perhaps if a sanitized version of your .procmail file could be pasted so
we may be able to help you better?

Not sure what to sanitize so I'll post all recipes in ~/.procmailrc. You'll
note that several have multiple formats as I try to find one that works.

MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
DEFAULT=/var/spool/mail/rshepard
ORGMAIL=/var/spool/mail/rshepard
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log

The problem is likely that you do not have PMDIR set and so it can't open any files.

Try adding this and trying again:

PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail

To refine my answer, your output above indicates that it is attempting to open the file named "log" in the root ("/") directory, and that probably doesn't exist, and it likely wouldn't have the permissions required if it did.

I stand by the suggestion to configure the PMDIR value above the LOGFILE specification.
