These are probably in the wrong place. See below.

I *just* set this up like 3 days ago, so I should be able to help.

1) Did you have procmail installed and working already? If so,
   there's no need for using the .forward file. (I use postfix
   as my MTA, and it execs procmail as the LDA so I don't need
   to bother.)

2) You put the first rule (the :0fw one) before you define PATH.
   This might be why spamassassin isn't getting run. Try putting
   the 2 spamassassin rules after those variables are defined.
