Without getting to deep into the details a lot of people end up with procmail rules that look like the following. While it works, it is totally wrong for a Maildir mail spool.
First, the trailing ':' unnecessarily locks and serializes delivery to the folder. One of the main reasons for choosing Maildir based message stores is that you explicitly do not need to lock the folder when delivering mail to it and you can have several simultaneous readers and writers on a folder at any given time. (As opposed to a format like mbox which can only have a single writer.) Second, you're actually telling procmail to deliver to an MH folder called "$DEFAULT/.linux-nfs/new" and not to the Maildir folder "$DEFAULT/.linux-nfs" (This shows as linux-nfs via IMAP.)

What a difference the trailing slash makes.
