Is vacation run according to the logs?

Well aside from the user on the pipe transport, you aren't showing a
router (director if you are using an obsolete version of exim) thats
handling .forward

backslash in front of myuser is not needed, and unless you have a router
to handle that address format won't actually work.  This reinforces the
idea you don't have a .forward handler.

Try doing something like
	exim -d -bt myuser at your.dom.ain
