I'm having a heck of a time figuring out what procmail version you're
using, or whether you're running your procmail script from
/etc/procmailrc,
a user .procmailrc, or via some other mechanism.

Perhaps you can nudge us with a concise excerpt from your .procmailrc?

For clarity, you should indicate whether that dot ACTUALLY trails the
filespec, or if you're just adding it to end the sentance. Procmail
DOES
act differently based on whether the dirname is suffixed with "/" vs.
"/.".
See 'man procmailrc'. Search around for "maildir folder"

Assuming the path you specified above is trailed by "/", not "/.", then
procmail should. Provided that the user which procmail is running as
has
any rights to create files there.
Have you considered running with VERBOSE=ON in your procmailrc?
