At a quick glance I can see two things that might be issues:

The first is that, in the section you quoted above, you are missing
some quotes. Some of your filters are quoted like this:

All to matchcase "foo move "bar

And they should be quoted like this:

All to matchcase "foo" move "bar"

The second is that you have to matchcase rather than from matchcase,
which seems unusual, although I don't have a whole lot of filters or
processing rules, so it might not mean anything. (:
