Problem is simple.  :-)

Netcom does not have its ftp directories mounted on its mailservers.  

Best bet is to stash the files somewhere under your $HOME, and make the
copy in /ftp a symbolic link to the other.  The have procmail look for the
file in its new location.  

Calling the file with a symbolic link in procmail will produce flaky
results.
