An absolute path name for the file. You need something like
require_files = $home/.vacation.message
In fact, you might well need
require_files = $local_part : $home/.vacation.message
so that Exim changes uid to the local part before looking for the file.

Correct.
But: why not just create a .forward file for the user?
