Yes. Various db files, whose maintenance is described in section 50 of
spec.txt and some wait-* files for each transport in use. Sounds as
though your Exim install is broken, permissions-wise. Did you remove
the setuid-root permission from the binary or something?
If you can't find the problem your end, you'll need to post an "ls -ld"
of the db folder, the output of:
$ exim -bP exim_user exim_group
the Local/Makefile (you can skip the comments for the list, so:
$ grep '^[^#]' Local/Makefile
and preferably as much of your configuration as you're comfortable
posting.
