Odd Exim Problem

I've got a problem with exim that I can't fathom. Exim is running as my mailserver and in conjunction with spamassassin, separates my spam. At the moment, spamassassin is working great, adding an X-Spam-Flag: YES header to every spam mail that comes through. However, I'm trying to use a .forward file to redirect anything with that to my spam folder in my maildir. The problem is that exim is claiming it's doing everything it's being told to do, but my .spam directory remains empty! The mail must be going somewhere, but I think it's chucking it down a black hole. It's only spam, but I've had false positives before now and would rather it didn't just delete everything.

My .forward file:

Code:

#Exim filter  <<== do not edit or remove this line!
if
        $h_X-Spam-Flag: contains "YES"
then
        save $home/maildir/.spam/
        finish
endif

Here's what the log says when it gets some spam:

Code:

2006-05-04 16:27:58 1Fbfk9-0003oj-Dx <= [email protected] H=amontpellier-152-1-98-234.w86-211.abo.wanadoo.fr (japet.or.jp) [86.211.96.234] P=smtp S=5300 id=

Finally, the router and transport in exim:

Code:

#routers
userforward:
  driver = redirect
  check_local_user
# local_part_suffix = +* : -*
# local_part_suffix_optional
  file = /home/growse/.forward
 allow_filter
  no_verify
  no_expn
  check_ancestor
  file_transport = address_file
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
  reply_transport = address_reply
  directory_transport = address_directory

#transports
address_file:
  driver = appendfile
  delivery_date_add
  envelope_to_add
  return_path_add


address_directory:
        driver = appendfile
        maildir_format
        delivery_date_add
        envelope_to_add
        return_path_add
