I additionally don't like the look of your Maildir. It's quoted, you
should set MAILDIR in procmailrc, you should get rid of the space and
it should end in "new". Result:

:0
* ^From:.*famous-smoke\.com
.Shopping/Famous_Smoke/new

I don't know what you're using for maildirmake but here's a script you
can adapt:

----

#!/bin/sh
#
# Usage: maildirmake <somemaildir>

mkdir $1
mkdir $1/new
mkdir $1/cur
mkdir $1/tmp
chown frank:frank $1/new
chown frank:frank $1/cur
chown frank:frank $1/tmp
chmod 700 $1
chmod 700 $1/new
chmod 700 $1/cur
chmod 700 $1/tmp

----

You have to run it from where you keep your maildirs i.e MAILDIR

So if you have your maildirs in Mail:

$ cd ~/Mail
$ mkdir .Shopping
$ cd .Shopping
$ maildirmake Famous_Smoke

For your ref, here's my procmailrc


PATH=/usr/local/bin
SHELL=/bin/sh
ORGMAIL=$HOME/Maildir/new
PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail
LOGFILE=$PMDIR/log
VERBOSE=on
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/new
LOGNAME=frank
INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rules
