Which release of Exim? With Exim 4 I get
2003-02-25 09:08:22 Exim configuration error in line 138:
rewrite rule has the S flag but is not a regular expression

It's a casing problem. When Exim is processing addresses, it has
lowercased the domain. So you need a lowercase domain in the rewriting
rule. Or (?i) in the regex. Try
\N^FETCHMAIL-DAEMON@server\.wg$\N
