Have you checked /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME?
Does the directory exist? With the right permissions?

What are the -d bits for? Do you really want these names?
What does your .forward file look like. I use
"|IFS=' ' && p=/usr/local/bin/procmail && test -f $p && ex
ec $p -Yf- || exit 75 #username"
(one line; exec is one word; the " quotes are present, the username
is yours (presumably not root!); the local is unnecessary in Debian.)
