I think you forgot the trailing / to deliver to a directory
instead of a file. The procmail man page is not too helpful, but
procmailex and procmailrc is packed with goodies.

man procmailrc

       If the mailbox name ends in "/", then this directory is
       presumed to be a maildir folder; i.e., proc- mail will
       deliver the message to a file in a subdirectory named
       "tmp" and rename it to be inside a subdirectory named
       "new". If the mailbox is specified to be an MH folder
       or maildir folder, procmail will create the neces- sary
       directories if they don't exist, rather than treat the
       mailbox as a non-existent filename.
