Aha! This appears to be the source of the problem.

The configuration had 'exim_path' set to the running version of Exim (which
probably had ALT_CONFIG_ROOT_ONLY set) and that was exec'ed instead of the
4.43 version. Correcting it in the test configuration file solved the
"Permission denied" message.

Thanks for the assistance in tracking it down.
