It means you haven't set directory_transport in your forward routing
rule (the error may not mean much to you but it is correct in what its
saying), here's an example of the rule I use for transport and routing:

And below is my userforward router:

Note the line that refers "directory_transport = address directory" i.e.
the transport listed above, I'm guessing thats missing in your config..

I hope this helps, have a read of the manual (downloadable at the exim
site) for specifics on what all the options do.
