This PATH may not be active in jobs that are not started from
an interactive shell -- procmail is one such type of job.
.profile, I believe, is sourced only for interactive jobs, i.e.
from a "login" shell.

Try specifying the complete path names, or setting PATH
in the scripts themselves, if this is allowed.  I admit I'm guessing
here.  Anyone else have clues?
