The following example for setting DAY does not work.

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin

I advise you don't set PATH.  Let procmail's compiled-in
default path work for you.  This was also the advise
of procmail's (nowadays mostly absentee) maintainer,
Philip Guenther, in posts to this list long ago.  The
exception for an unusual individual situation is of
course understood to be possible.

I think this might be your problem, in any case.
Where is date on your system?  On mine, it's /bin/date.

DAY = `date +%m%d%y`

LOGFILE     = $HOME/pm.log

LOGABSTRACT = "all"

VERBOSE     = "on"  

Suggest you move the VERBOSE setting above the
call to date so you can see it in your logs for
troubleshooting.
