Troubleshooting the new SpamBouncer

Sometime in the past few months (while I was in the throes 
of moving and set a lot of nonessential projects aside), 
Catherine did a major reorg of SB which resulted in the 
creation of some new files. Well, actually, a lot of new 
files, but most of them are included in the SB distribution 
and don't need any help from me. :-)

Where I'm having trouble is with the new .myemail and
.legitlists files. Also with the old nobounce file,
which is apparently now .nobounce. I created a .myemail
file and move nobounce to .nobounce, but something
isn't working right. (I haven't created a .legitlists
file yet.)

Procmail is catching spam and suspected spam okay, and 
putting them into SPAMFOLDER and BLOCKFOLDER, but it's 
putting all my personal mail into the BULKFOLDER instead 
of the DEFAULTFOLDER (HOME/inbox). Not a fatal problem, 
but an irksome one.

I turned on the verbose log, and I'm seeing "program
failure" errors when procmail attempts to invoke the
three above-mentioned files. Here's an excerpt from
the log as an example:

	procmail: Program failure (1) of " ${TEST} -f ${NOBOUNCE}
	&& (${FORMAIL} -zxFrom : -zxReply-To: | ${GREP} -i -f
	${NOBOUNCE})"

I can't figure out why procmail isn't seeing those files. Any ideas??


Thanks!
Patty
