Well see the thing is that when I *do* have these values changed

attempting to create a file in /var/spool/mail/a/r even though I've
changed the values already.
Really? Can you show us the output of "procmail -v" for that binary?
procmail: Couldn't create "/var/spool/mail/a/r/arghya"
procmail: Lock failure on "/var/mail/a/r/arghya.lock"
procmail: Error while writing to "/var/mail/a/r/arghya" 550 5.0.0
<arghya(_at_)mail(_dot_)blah(_dot_)com>... Can't create output
Now it *will* deliver to the correct directory if it already exists, but
if ti doesn't (or the permissions or wrong), then I'll get this message.
So why is it telling me that it couldn't create
/var/spool/mail/a/r/arghya, when I don't have that defined anywhere? It's
potentially confusing.
You don't have an /etc/procmailrc or .procmailrc file that sets the
DEFAULT or ORGMAIL variables, do you? If so, remove those assignments.
