From the procmailrc(5) manpage:

CAVEATS
     Continued lines in an action line that specifies  a  program
     always  have  to  end in a backslash, even if the underlying
     shell would not need or want the backslash to indicate  con-
     tinuation.   This  is  due  to  the two pass parsing process
     needed (first procmail, then the shell (or not, depending on
     SHELLMETAS)).


Put a backslash after the semicolon.
