Not "-m", rather "-n".

Well, Postfix just executes "procmail" via your shell (when mailbox_command
contains shell metacharacters). Don't blame the messenger. The error message
is from your shell, which clearly reports not being able to run the
/usr/bin/procmail executable. You really should take the time to find out
why the executable cannot be run by your shell and/or operating system,
if you want "procmail" to handle local mailbox delivery.
