(1) Is there anything on the exim main log or panic log?
(2) Check the permissions on the file.
(3) Try a test DBM lookup with
exim -be '${lookup{a.domain}dbm{/mail/domainsdbm}{$value}{FAILED}}'
where a.domain is a domain that is supposed to be in the file. That at
least will confirm whether the DBM is working. You can also try it with
-d9, which might give more clues.
