Ahh, that would be the answer. Basically I'm trying to setup a user.config
file in the user's home directory (similar to the way vexim uses the MySQL
database) to configure things such as spam / malware refusal / redirection.
Does this mean that the exim user must be given access to the file (and
therefore I have to put the file somewhere other than the user's home)? Or
am I missing a better way of doing this?

Thanks very much for your response.
