You have quoted a transport, not a director.

What do you want to happen? Do you want the message to be bounced, or
kept on Exim's queue for later delivery? You need to to take these kinds
of decision at directing time, not transport time.

If the lookup fails, "file" will end up empty. Exim will see that it is
not an absolute path name. It will assume a configuration error, and
freeze the message.
