Yes, procmail can cope with mbox.
 From the procmail error, I'd consider what user procmail is running as 
and the permissions on /var/spool/mail/tmp/. Perhaps removing DROPPRIVS 
or changing the permissions. However, I haven't use procmail much so 
proceed with caution and thought. I use dovecot's own LDA and sieve for 
the filtering. It works nicely for me. http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA
