Why are you calling out to exim again? If you want to deliver the
message to that address, why not just use

'deliver bowler@???'

If you want it to still delivery to the bcb address, then use

'unseen deliver bowler@???'

It's possible that not doing the delivery from the filter is causing
the parent address checking to fail.. I'd try it that way and see what
happens..
