Usually a permissions problem. Exim runs as user mail, at least on my
system, so try:
# su -s /bin/bash mail
# /usr/local/bin/testScript

and see what happens. Depending on your pipe transport config, it could
be trying to run as some other user instead.

The other thing to try would be to change the pipe command to
strace -o /tmp/tracelog -f /usr/local/bin/testScript
