[Gllug] exim question

[will]

Hello,

I am moving email for some domains to a server with exim from one with 
postfix and have a slight problem.  I am running vm-pop3d 
(http://www.reedmedia.net/software/virtualmail-pop3d/) with the mail for 
virtual POP accounts delivered to:

/mail/<domains name>/<local part>

I have set up exim (debian stable version, 3.35) as in the example here 
(the basic config with the additions for virtual mail folders..):

http://www.reedmedia.net/software/virtualmail-pop3d/mda/exim.conf.txt

The /mail directory and all subdirectories and files are owned by 
mail.mail (uid and gid of 8) and are all set to permissions 660.  Why 
then, so I get this message when I try and send to 
test at test.hellacool.co.uk:

2004-05-01 18:38:05 1BJv6V-00076K-00 virtual_alias director: failed to 
open /mail/test.hellacool.co.uk/aliases for linear search: Permission 
denied (euid=8 egid=8)

when exim tries (i thought) to deliver as user 'mail'.  Someone please 
enlighten me as to my glaring error ;)

Thanks,
Will.
