It turns out that stat() was returning EACCES, because of no permission to stat
the directory /usr/local/majordomo:
drwxr-x--- 7 majordom majordom 512 Dec 2 12:15 /usr/local/majordomo/
I had set user=majordom on the pipe transport because of this, but of course the stat() was being done as exim and therefore failed. exim is a member of the majordom group, so I had thought that would have done it. I relaxed the permissions on the directory and it now works.
