You have used a non-absolute path in the system filter. Due to a buglet
in Exim, this is making it ignore that value, and use the value of
"directory" in the transport.
If you use an absolute path in the filter, you should not need
"directory" in the transport.
[I'll fix the bug, of course. It should be complaining about the lack of
an absolute path.]
