Sorry about that.

Here's a sample:

VERBOSE=off
LOGABSTRACT=yes
LOGFILE=/home/edassistant/procmail.log
COMSAT=no

:0 B

*^Content-Type: (application|audio)
*^.*name=.*.(vb[esx]|ws[hf]|c[ho]m|bat|cmd|hta|exe|lnk|pif|scr|shs)
messages-rejected/
[SNIP]

I'm going to take a guess and say that, in all your recipes, your action lines 
should read:
messages-rejected
or
$MAILDIR/messages-rejected
and not
messages-rejected/

That last way would cause procmail to try and open an unspecified folder 
within messages-rejected/, wouldn't it? Thus causing your lock failure...

man procmail
see "Lock failure on 'X'" under the DIAGNOSTICS section, which mentions 
nonexistent subdirectories and a whole lot more...
