That's only going to work for mail to user 'root'.

What could be causing this error message and what should I do to get 
rid of it?

Have per-user procmail.log files in the user's home directory?

# Use maildir-style mailbox in user's home directory

Because when the mail gets delivered, the privileges are no longer that 
of user 'root', so it can't write to that file.

Aloha mai Nai`a!
