Now you've told us what problem you're really having, yes, thanks.
Please consider not wasting time (ours and yours) by obfuscating the
problem next time.

It's doing what you told it to. The userforward router delivers the
message via the .forward file. That file caiuses the message to be
piped to your script. The message is now considered to be delivered;
it doesn't fall through to the localuser router.

If you want a dual delivery (normal + via .forward) you need to set
that up in the .forward file or in the routers.
