As was explained before, the message is piped by Exim to your script; the
use of $1 above is therefore ignored. (and the space behind the hash/bang
is probably wrong as well)

Ensure your script doesn't produce any output and that it returns zero to
indicate success. For testing, I'd use

    #!/bin/sh


    cat > /tmp/test.datei
