Does /var/mail exist?
If so, I usually change the ownership of that directory to 1777. This
lets Exim create the directories it needs to.
It looks like "/var/mail/ack-sys.co.za/thomas/Maildir" does not exist.
Are you using the example configure file from vexim?
If not, there is the following option you can add to your transport:
create_directory = true
This will create the required directories.

hope this helps, let me know if it doesn't.
