Well, for one, that's not a procmail error, it's an error being kicked up by sh.

Chances are, there's an intermediate directory that you don't have permissions to. Perhaps the mail directory is mounted NFS?

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 43 Sep 24 2007 .maildir -> /net/mail/spool/panix/0/5/msaroff(_at_)panix(_dot_)com

What are the perms of the target itself -- the perms and ownership you see here are for the symlink.

Q: is procmail the LDA, or are you invoking it from a .forward? Are these the only recipes you have that are invoking shell? Is it possible that your new ISP has smrsh (sendmail restricted shell)?
