procmail cannot write to directories

I am running cygwin, and am trying to get procmail working.  I know that
many others
are running procmail on cygwin.  For starters, I am trying to use it to
filter an existing test mailbox that has two messages in it by running
 $ cat testspool |procmail

Here's my super-simple .procmailrc which should do nothing put put all
messages into ~/Mail/inbox and write its log to ~/.procmail/log:
    PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
    SHELL=/bin/sh
    VERBOSE=no
    MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
    DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox
    PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
    LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log

:0
$DEFAULT


When I try to do this, procmail gives me all kinds of odd errors.  Here's
what procmail puts into stderr:

    ~/Mail$ cat testspool |procmail
    "rocmail: Error while writing to "/home/porter/.procmail/log
    "rocmail: Skipped "
    "rocmail: Skipped "
    "rocmail: Error while writing to "/home/porter/Mail/inbox
    "rocmail: Skipped "
    .lock"il: Lock failure on "/home/porter/Mail/inbox
    "rocmail: Error while writing to "/home/porter/Mail/inbox


I have no idea why it cannot write to /home/porter/.procmail/log or
/home/porter/Mail/inbox.  I can modify both of them.  I also have no idea
why it keeps saying Skipped ".



In case it helps, here's the same thing, but with VERBOSE=yes :
    ~/Mail$ cat testspool |procmail
