IMO, 'discovering' it, not causing it.

Looks as if Exim isn't happy with overly-lenient or mis-matched
perms?

022 being the common mask for a shell user, I'd try setting the
perms temporarily to the corresponding '755' and see if the
problem goes away.

Not enough info for me to see the need for sticky bits and such
here, but we don't even permit php on box, so YMMV.

HTH,
