While with your first example the storage target was correct for Maildir storage: $HOME/Maildir/, which is $HOME/Maildir from the MAILDIR variable definition at top and with first recipe adding the trailing slash to it (:0 \ $MAILDIR/). Now where you changed the recipe from $MAILDIR/ to $MAILDIR/.ChrisMail, the trailing slash is missing. And this one is essential! It tells procmail to store the mail in Maildir format and not, as it happened where you claim the fault, in mbox format (msg.IIvS is an mbox file).
