I also just now tried changing the maildir field to absolute paths and
now I still get :

No such file or directory: failed to chdir to
maildir:/mail/mail2/b/olypen.com/brandon/maildir:INDEX=/mail/mail2/b/olypen.com/brandon/maildir/dovecot-index

And still nothing in dovecot's logs showing that exim even talked to it..
