it writes the file out perfectly, but doesn't proceed on to the next part
of the nest, running the program. I turned on verbose logging, and it
acts like it isnt even there:

any ideas?
Of course it acts like nothing is there: nothing is there! You dispatched
the message into a delivering recipe up above. Procmail exits on
successful delivery unless you do something to stop it from doing so.
You're lucky the message was delivered, because otherwise it would
(try to) write over your program with a message in the second recipe.
You need a `c' flag. Here is one way:
:0 bcw
/tmp/mirror/filename.txt
:0 hi # we don't need the message at all, so `hi' minimizes impact
| program argument
