[hypermail] Can't run hypermail from within a .procmailrc (just bombs out with syntax errors)

Hi....

I'm actually having a problem running hypermail from within a .procmailrc. This is my .procmailrc

############################################################################

VERBOSE=yes

MAILDIR=$HOME/Msgs

PMDIR=$HOME/Procmail

LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
HOME=/home/stude/j/jtbeach

:0
* ^Subject:[ ]+\[proj\]
{

:0c:

        proj2

:0c

        ! joelbeach_at_optushome.com.au

:0:

        | $HOME/hypermail/bin/hypermail -i -u -d $HOME/www_public/mail -l "340 Project List"
}

If, instead of this setup, I save the message to a new file and then pipe that into hypermail using

cat folder | $HOME/hypermail/bin/hypermail -i -u -d $HOME/www_public/mail -l "340 Project List"

it works fine and produces the update HTML pages.

However, when I try to run it from within the above .procmailrc, I get the following errors in the log
