As Fredrik and Philip have explained, it's surely a permissions problem on
/var/log/procmail/.  If your OS supports sticky directories, change the
perms of /var/log/procmail/ to 1777.  That way anyone can create a file in
there but users won't be able to delete each other's logfiles, only their
own.
