NO!, this first line MUST read "# Exim filter"

This is not related to your problem, but you should upgrade.

you can also try

exim -d -bf $HOME/.forward <testmessage, and see what happens.

Please post how the current .forward-file looks like, oder better place
it on some webpage and post the URL, also the debuglog of the exim -d
-bf call would be interesting.
