Could someone just setup a symbolic link from the old directory to a new
directory on usr/spool/mail?
A symbolic link from /var/spool/mail to /usr/spool/mail would work,
but symbolic links from /var/spool/mail/user to /usr/spool/mail/user
would *not* work.

Generally, $ORGMAIL should point to your system mailbox. The default
value for this is /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME If your system mailboxes are
in a different location, then setting this variable will help to fix your
problem. Check to be sure that $LOGNAME is correctly set in your
environment, then if you have the following in your your ~/.procmailrc
file, it might do what you want:
ORGMAIL=/usr/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
The value of the $DEFAULT variable is tbe default mailbox file to which
Procmail delivers. It defaults to the value of the $ORGMAIL variable, so
setting $ORGMAIL should fix the problem, assuming that your system
mailboxes are in fact in a different location.
As I've said before, THIS DOES NOT WORK COMPLETELY. Procmail checks
the permissions of the mailspool using the compiled in location *before*
it reads the /etc/procmailrc or $HOME/.procmailrc file.
