It works not even from the shell? So, it's not a procmail problem at
first. 
You should provide some more information about how you call procmail,
and deliver. deliver is hard to use because it frequently gives no sensible 
error status and no error messages. You should take care not to feed messages 
with a "From " header line, otherwise deliver will crash silently.

That's my call for procmail in master.cf which works with cyrus 2.0.xx:

cyrusp    unix  -       n       n       -       -      pipe
     user=cyrus:mail argv=/usr/local/bin/procmail -p
         /etc/rc/procmailrc LOGNAME=${user}
         EXTENSION=${extension} RECIP=${recipient}

That's how deliver is called:

:0w
| $DELIVER -a $LOGNAME -m user.$LOGNAME
