This is not a system filter it is in essence the .forward file with exim
filtering allowed. I have tried
#This is to allow the use of exim filter files.
userfilter:
driver = redirect
check_local_user
file = $home/.eximforward
no_verify
no_expn
check_ancestor
allow_filter
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
reply_transport = address_reply
directory_transport = local_delivery
local_part_suffix = +*
local_part_suffix_optional
modemask = 002
allow_defer
#Transports section
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
group = mail
mode = 0660
directory=/home2/${local_part}/Maildir
maildir_format = true

I have tried a number of things trying address_directory: within the
transports section as many available via google have suggested.
The exim documentation states that there are five default local
transports, the default configuration file does notcontain the
address_directory transport. I have attached some more information
thinking that I should probably have sent this originally :-)
Kind regards
