procmail error

[Don W. Jenkins]

I have been having problems getting procmail to run at all, whether on 
its own when fetchmail polls my mail account, or when I try to run it on 
the mailbox after it has been downloaded.  I think I have narrowed it 
down to a problem of some sort with the .procmailrc file, but I'm not at 
all sure what.  I get the error:

procmail: Suspicious rcfile "/home/oakman/.procmailrc"
procmail: Couldn't read "/home/oakman/.procmailrc"
repeated for each message as it tries to process it.  Here is my 
procmailrc as it currently stands:

# Please check if all the paths in PATH are reachable, remove the ones that
# are not.
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:

DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from
#LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail
#LINEBUF=4096
#VERBOSE=off
#FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail
#SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
#PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail

I commented out a bunch of lines to reduce the variables to the minimum 
to try and see what was going on.  Still no luck.  I also tried setting 
the permission to 644, owner-oakman, group-users, with no luck.  I'm not 
sure what makes it a "suspicious rc file" and unreadable by procmail.  
Any suggestions? 

Thanks!
