The mail is probably being rejected by Exim, since "shared" is not a
local user, so the local-part is unknown. You'll probably need a special
router that matches local-parts of shared folders.
"bb+shared" has the same problem. Unless you have a router that matches
that, Exim will reject it as an unknown local-part too.

You are using "cyrdeliver -m" to deliver to shared mailboxes, but your
transport does not do that. You probably want to create a new tranport
for delivery to shared mailboxes. And then use one or more new routers to
match mail to your shared folders, and send the messages to your new
router.
