Well spotted! I overlooked this. Thanks to David for pointing me towards the ignore_eacces and ignore_enotdir directives. Having added these to the userforward router, the mail gets as far as the local_delivery router, but again failing with:-

The directory /home/group/username does not already exist; exim should try and create it.
Exim doesn't run as root so it can't just create directories anywhere.
If /home/group is writeable by the same group-id exim runs as, then exim will be able to create the directory, otherwise it won't.
