The daemon was started as pid 5289 it succeeded as it was run by running
the exim executable, then it tried to start the first queue runner by
calling itself with -q. Whenever exim calls itself, it uses it's compiled
path (or the one specified in the config file if any). The call to execute
exim -q inside a child process (pid 5290) did not succeed with a file not
found. This error message comes from the forked child failing it's exec
not from the new called exim so the exec failed -> exim_path is most
probably set wrong.
