The directory option on the transport overrides the directory you saved
to in the filter file. I prefer to solve this problem by removing the
directory option from the maildir_delivery transport, and then changing
the localuser router from accept to redirect, changing transport to
directory_transport, and adding "data = $home/Maildir/". That way you
have a single transport responsible for all maildir deliveries, and the
folder being delivered to is always decided by the router (or the filter
called by the router).
