problems getting procmail to run

I have downloaded procmail, compiled it, and now am having trouble getting
it to act like it's supposed to. The FAQ file from the distribution
instructed me to go to www.faqs.org/faqs/mail/filtering-faq to get
instructions on how to get procmail to run. I got this info and tried to get
the "test" email to go to the appropriate spot, but it didn't work.

Here is my .procmailrc
VERBOSE=on
MAILDIR=/var/spool/mail
PMDIR=/u04/home/admin/sspaldin/.procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.testing
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.maillists

Here is .forward
"|IFS=' ' && exec /u04/home/admin/sspaldin/procmail-3.13.1/src/procmail -f-
|| exit 75 #sspaldin"

The rc.testing file in the .procmail directory looks like this
:0:
* ^Subject:.*test
IN.testing


I have put an IN.testing file in my home directory and in the .procmail
directory with 777 privs, but whenever I send an email from Exchange to my
UNIX account, it goes to the /var/spool/mail/sspaldin file.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
