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.
