That's generally superfluous, sometimes bad. Almost always the best
idea is to let procmail use its compiled-in value for $SENDMAIL and not
to override it in the rcfile nor in /etc/procmailrc.

The action line on that recipe has no output file and needs no output
file, so there is no need for a lock (if you want a lockfile anyway, the
action gives nothing for procmail to guess a lockfile name from, so
you'd have to supply an explicit name). Get rid of the second colon;
even your logfile tells you it's a problem.
* !^FROM_DAEMON
* !^FROM_MAILER
Redundant. ^FROM_DAEMON is a superset of ^FROM_MAILER, so anything that
doesn't match the former certainly won't match the latter.
* !^X-Loop: AustinMusic(_at_)michaelbluejay(_dot_)com
You should escape the period: leaving it unescaped is harmless here, but
it's a sloppy habit that might hurt you on another occasion.

The trailing space in your X-Loop: line is a little ugly, but it should
be harmless because you didn't right-anchor the condition.
I don't have such a good feeling about the lack of a backslash in the
middle of the quoted text that is being echoed, but the quotes around it
seem to be taking care of it, per the logfile. Maybe that's because a
shell is handling it rather than procmail itself, thanks to the pipe and
the semicolon. But in a procmailrc action, I feel more comfortable
breaking up a multi-line echo line by line (and since your individual
lines of text are as long as my mailer settings will tolerate, to avoid
making garbage of my advice, I need further to separate the word "echo"
onto a line of its own):

The only thing that doesn't work is that the autoresponse doesn't get
sent.
Maybe it gets sent but it's eaten at the other end (the original sender,
whose message triggered the autoresponder). Do you have access to the
MTA logs on your system to see whether something went out?
