While you're at it, you should resolve that '//' bit.

When logged into myuser I can manually execute the scriptfile with no errors
including execute the java process with no errors.

Because your user shell startup scripts define an extended path, which isn't handed to the shell when it is invoked by the MTA. No surprise there

        'which java'

Then, ensure the path to that is added in your ~/.procmailrc

The scriptfile has been able to execute grep and sed with no problems.

Because they're in more common path locations.

I have pointers to java in the .alias file.

        'which java'

Probably reveals a path which doesn't include the word 'java' (excepting of course the executable name on the tail end, but that's not part of the DIRECTORY path).

Does procmail need to have pointers to java somewhere?

No 'pointers', just a valid path - you may not
