I'm trying to deploy procmail on a university computer with my student

But as soon as I use a .forward file to invoke procmail, nothing I do seems 
to work.

I would bet that the mailserver where your .forward file is examined is
a different OS or platform than the one where you compiled procmail.

Now what's really interesting is if I remove the word "exec" from the 
.forward file.  Then no error bounced back, but the error message from 
.forward is written to my raw_in file:

Right.  The exec keeps the shell from processing the rest of the compound
command.
