That looks like it thinks the *mailbox* (as opposed to the
directory it lives in), is called "/var/mail/".

I got this this same error very recently. My local_delivery transport
says to put the mail in /var/mail/$local_part_data. In my case the
problem was that in an effort to work around tainted data problems I had
reverted to an earlier version of exim where check_local_user didn't set
$local_part_data, so it thought the mailbox was just "/var/mail/".

Perhaps you have some similar problem.
