Okay.

When did the files change from being owned by that special group you had
set up to being owned by "mail"?
It seems pretty likely to me you have permission problmes of some
kind, probably to do with group ownership.
What I am trying to find out is, what permissions and what owner
and what group will write when the file is not there already. You
have not yet told me that. Also, what are the dir permissions?
ls -ld .
[root(_at_)mail mail]# ls -ld
drwxrwxrwt 3 root mail 20480 Jun 5 08:23 .
You changed some things from before. Now you have the sticky bit
set. (Good.) Has the problem recurred since you made these changes?
And do you have some other permissions security stuff running,
such as maybe ACL (access control list) stuff or something?
I don't think so ... how do I find out?
If you don't know, the answer is probably no. It's mostly on
stuff like Alpha True64 systems and stuff, anyway. And a
couple of others. See if there's a "setacl" command active on
your system. Probably there isn't.
What do the verbose logs say for these failures?
this is the log file from one of the users
From five(_dot_)mile(_at_)bigpond(_dot_)com Sat Jun 3 19:30:11 2006

Those are not verbose logs. And that's not a failure.
We (I) want to see verbose logs for a failure entry.
What is the output of
sh -c "procmail -v 2>&1" | sed 2,9d
[root(_at_)mail mail]# sh -c "procmail -v 2>&1" | sed 2,9d
procmail v3.22 2001/09/10
Locking strategies: dotlocking, fcntl()
Default rcfile: $HOME/.procmailrc
It may be writable by your primary group
Your system mailbox: /var/mail/root
Odd that you don't have lockf() running in your compile.
