Oh boy!  Life on the edge.  :-)

The directory is named msg.3F7 or the file in the directory?  That
looks like what procmail names things when it puts them in its own dir
format not Maildir format.  Please show us your .procmailrc rule.  But
I think you left off the trailing /.  Here is my rule for debian-user
for comparison.

:0:
* ^X-Mailing-List: .*debian-user@lists.debian.org
debian-user/

I can't remember if you need to create the subdirs or not.  To make
sure this works, make those directories first.

  mkdir -p debian-user/{cur,new,tmp}
