My first guess is that you're using an old version of procmail that doesn't
do extraction. It's taking "\/" to mean a literal foreslash with a redundant
backslash before it to make sure it's taken literally. Since the first
character after "autobot:" isn't a slash, the expression doesn't match.
My second guess is that /tmp/foo already exists under someone else's
ownership and you don't have write permission to append to it.
