 Just add the second colon at the beginning of the recipe. If I

 ~/Mail/mutt-users.gz.$LOCKEXT.

 You being the only user on the computer doesn't matter: you could
 have several mail messages coming in at the same time, and a number
 of concurrent procmail processes trying to appand to the mailbox
 file at the same time.
