You're rc file (presumably /etc/procmailrcs/poohba, since you include
/home/poohba/.procmail/rc.first later) is first assigning
MAILDIR=/home/poohba/mail, then reassigning it to /var/spool/mail.
You probably want to leave it as /home/poohba/mail.

It's trying to write to /var/spool/mail/temp. Since it's running as poohba,
it can't create files in /var/spool/mail. Presumably you meant this to go to
/home/poohba/mail/temp. See above.

You still haven't fixed MAIL_DEAMON. It's not MAIL_DEAMON, it's FROM_DAEMON.
Note the spelling of DAEMON.
