Your problem is not with procmail, but with pine.
Under M(ain) -- S(etup) -- C(onfig), you want to put a nice little X

is a spot (incoming-archive-folders) where you want to add all the names
of your incoming folders.
Incoming-archive-folders means:
$HOME/mail/inbox - aka INBOX and ZOPE (for zope mailing list)?
I tried the above but still couldn't get pine to recognize email. They get
appended to the folders by procmail but not recognized in pine? I have
inclued my .pinerc and .procmailrc, if it helps
After this, you can E(xit config). You might have to restart pine, but it
should recognise the incoming folders.
If you want them to be folders but not incoming folders (which means pine
does not let you check the folders by pressing tab to go to the next
one), you can go into M(ain) -- L(ist), then choose the folder collection
you want to add a folder from (probably mail/). Inside the collection,
press A(dd) and enter all the requested info.
I don't think this is what I want since i want procmail to drop certain
mails in ZOPE file and all the rest in INBOX. After reading them, I can
save them to a folder in mail/zope or whatever.
I like pine better than any other mailer I've tried ;-)
