This really isn't a procmail issue/setup.

The problem is with sendmail, not procmail.  See below.

Sendmail is running with the sendmail restricted shell (smrsh) which is
a good thing.  But you didn't register vacation with the smrsh.  You need
to do something like:

ln -s /usr/bin/vacation /etc/smrsh/vacation

See the sendmail docs for more info.
