Procmail is installed correctly, and reacts properly to the tests I've given

This isn't strictly speaking, a procmail problem, but I'll take a stab anyway.
Double check that your sendmail.cf has something like the following:
# Forward file search path
O ForwardPath=$z/.forward.$w:$z/.forward
Also, make sure the users home dir and .forward are not group or world
writable. If you are using private groups (the user's primary group is the
same as his/her username), check that you don't have:
O UnsafeGroupWrites
However unsafe permissions on $HOME or .forward should cause an error to be
logged to your sendmail log.
