I'm getting the same "ambiguous output redirect " error on this recipe.
I've checked for typo's (I've cut and paste from the procmailex page) but
for te likes of me I can't work it out.  Any help would be appreciated.

As a workaround I have got the "retrieve" recipe to work ad use a rc.info
file that includes a number of copies of this recipe for each of the files I
want ro make available in the fileserver directory.  Not very elegant but it
works. 

I'm using procmail without .forward files under a mail agen called
Post.Office which serves my virtualserver account.  (Sun workstation Unix V
Solaris Apache server and a lot of lead time to get used to  unix.)
