The problem is almost certainly that you edited the .procmailrc file on
a Windows machine which saved it with CRLFs as the line ending instead of
just LFs.  You need to remove the bogus carriage-returns.  You may be
able to do this with your editor, or you can do it from the UNIX command
line with something like:

tf -d \\015 < .procmailrc > .procmailrc.fixed
mv .procmailrc.fixed .procmailrc

It should be "tr" instead of "tf". Just in case somebody gets confused
when suddenly faced with TinyFugue, a MUD client.
