I a previous post I stupidly said:
log file entries of form:

procmail: Locking "new/IN.sysadmin.lock" 
procmail: Error while writing to "new/_zVAQnemesis"                           
        [repeated 7 times - default setting?] 
procmail: Lock failure on "new/IN.sysadmin.lock" 
procmail: Executing "rcvstore,+new/IN.sysadmin" 
procmail: Assigning  "LASTFOLDER=rcvstore +new/IN.sysadmin"
From drs  Wed Nov 22 11:23:17 1995  
Subject: Re: subscribe   
Folder: rcvstore +new/IN.sysadmin                                        2642
procmail: Notified comsat: "drs@:rcvstore +new/IN.sysadmin"

The relevant recipe is

:0 w: new/IN.testing/$LOCKEXT 
* ^Subject:.*test
| rcvstore +new/IN.testing

Any clues as to what is going on?

Of course this doesn't really make a lot of sense - maybe pasting in the 
correct bit of the log file might help

procmail: Locking "new/IN.testing/.lock"
procmail: Error while writing to "new/IN.testing/_bWEQnemesis"
procmail: Lock failure on "new/IN.testing/.lock"
procmail: Executing "rcvstore,+new/IN.testing"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=rcvstore +new/IN.testing"

 Subject: test
  Folder: rcvstore +new/IN.testing                                          121
procmail: Notified comsat: "drs@:rcvstore +new/IN.testing"

Now, I have write access to all the directories below MAILDIR, which doesn't 
change, and they all exist.

But the question still is, does anyone know what is going on?

cheers,
        dave

p.s. Thanks to the two people who pointed out the above typo in the original 
message.
