Probably this:

      EX_UNAVAILABLE -- A service is unavailable.  This can occur
            if a support program or file does not exist.  This
            can also be used as a catchall message when something
            you wanted to do doesn't work, but you don't know why.


In this context, the problem is probably that Exim was unable to call
itself in order to sent the message. Check

exim -bP exim_path

Does it show the correct path to Exim? Are the permissions on the binary
correct? If so, try running the problem delivery with -d9 to see if the
debugging output helps.
