Your .procmailrc file looks fine.  My guess is that the problem lies in your
.forward file.  Look in the man page for procmail(1) in the NOTES section, and
check to see if you don't have any extraneous entries in your .forward file.

I suspect you looked at the .forward file example in the vacation(1) man page.
Procmail, unlike vacation does not need the \username entry in the .forward
file.
