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:-

2004-09-01 14:47:13 1C2VSD-0000HJ-JW == username at ne-worcs.ac.uk 
R=localuser T=local_delivery defer (2): No such file or directory: 
failed to chdir to /home/group/username

The directory /home/group/username does not already exist; exim should 
try and create it.
