The procmail man page says about the -d flag:

       -d recipient ...
            This  turns  on explicit delivery mode, delivery will
            be to the local user  recipient.   This,  of  course,
            only  is  possible  if  procmail has root privileges.

I wonder if the default ntsec setting means he doesn't have the
permissions to run procmail in this mode? 

There is more about the permissions requirements for explicit
delivery mode in the man page. User has to be in /etc/passwd etc.
