What you think you know, and what the computer knows may be different.
you need to provide 'proof' -- e.g. an 'ls -l' of the *fullly-qualified*
(i.e., starting from '/') path name.

Note: you need to include the content of all the 'INCLUDERC' files, too.
One _cannot_tell_ what is going on without seeing those files.

Is 'sb_filter.by' _really_ in the root ('/') directory?
if so, with what permissions?

> procmail: Program failure (2) of "/usr/bin/python"

is the python executable _really_ in '/usr/bin'?
or is it maybe in  '/usr/local/bin'?

what does 'which python' show?

Procmail knows what it is talking about on this.  see below

Note: it is advisable to use '\'  multi-line continuations, and/or
'variables' to reduce the length of recipe lines like the above.

For 'clairty', it is recommended you _indent_ lines within a '{' '}' block
