Did you really mean to tell procmail to chdir to /home/spool/mail?
You understand that this means that relative (non-absolute) paths will
be relative to that directory.


INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.testing

and rc.testing

:0:
* ^Subject:.*test
IN-testing

It cant create "IN-testing" see below for the contents of the logfile
...
procmail: Error while writing to "_bXFQ.littlebl"
procmail: Lock failure on "IN-testing.lock"
procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=IN-testing"
procmail: Opening "IN-testing"
procmail: Error while writing to "IN-testing"
...
Im guessing its a permissions problem, can anyone point me in the
right direction?

Does /home/spool/mail/IN-testing exist?  What are the permissions
on it?  What are the permissions on /home/spool/mail?  Is this taking
place as a user that has write permission to both /home/spool/mail and
/home/spool/mail/IN-testing?  If not, that's the problem.
