I'm using exactly this construct within my maildroprc - and it works 
fine for me. Here is again the line:
if(....
{
`/usr/bin/maildirmake -f Spam $HOME/$HOST/$USER/Maildir/`
}

The $HOST/$USER I need because it's a virtual environment.
I also had some problems with maildroprc in the beginning, resulting in 
maildrop doing some strange, not expected things. Problem was most 
probably due to invisible character set issues, caused by copying the 
main structure from a web page. After some tries with iconv etc. I 
decided to retype it completely in 'vi' - this finally helped me out.
