The permissions on /tmp/spam are 777. It was indeed a folder, not a file,
so I changed it to a file with 777 permissions and ran through the 4
mailbox commands again and still no delete... I'm still looking through
the logs for anything that seems odd.
Thanks again for all your help.

OK, I was unclear if you were even getting into procmailrc at all.
Since you are something important is what mailbox format you
are using.
You cite a rule:
===8<---
:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
/tmp/spam
===8<---
What are the permissions on /tmp/spam?
Is /tmp/spam a directory (as for mailbox format) or a file (as for
mbox format?) I believe procmail may want to throw things into a
file rather than a directory. (I use mbox format here for salearn
convenience. So for me such as "/tmp/spam" must be a file.)
