When you run it through procmail, are you modifying your local
$HOME/.procmailrc file, or the system-wide /etc/procmailrc file?
I assume you're modifying the one in you home directory, but if
you are working on the global /etc/procmailrc file, this is run
as 'root', or possibly a specially designated mail user-id, and
this will result in SA not running as your user id, which would
lead to problems with Bayes and other things.

That's odd. When I run the following for example,
% spamassassin -D < /dev/null
debug: Score set 0 chosen.
debug: running in taint mode? yes
debug: Running in taint mode, removing unsafe env vars, and resetting PATH
[...]
debug: running meta tests; score so far=3.916
debug: auto-learn? ham=0.1, spam=12, body-hits=0, head-hits=3.916
debug: auto-learn: currently using scoreset 3. recomputing score based on
scoreset 1.
debug: Score set 1 chosen.
debug: auto-learn: original score: 3.916, recomputed score: 2.882
debug: Score set 3 chosen.
debug: auto-learn? no: inside auto-learn thresholds
debug: is spam? score=3.916 required=5 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER
X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.63 (2004-01-11) on screamer
X-Spam-Level: ***
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.9 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER
autolearn=no version=2.63
I see a lot of output in the [...] region, and never see just the string
"SpamAssassin version 2.63". Only the "-V" option produces that output:
% spamassassin -V
SpamAssassin version 2.63
Put the following at the top of your .procmailrc file, and look in
$HOME/.procmail.log.
LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log
VERBOSE=yes
LOGABSTRACT=yes
