Exim sending errors to root



Hi,

I get daily error from exim (and some other packages, but mainly exim):

 /bin/sh: root: command not found
 /etc/cron.daily/exim:
 failed to open database lock file /var/spool/exim/db/retry.lockfile:
  Permission denied (euid=1000 egid=50) 
  failed to open database lock file
  /var/spool/exim/db/wait-remote_smtp.lockfile: Permission denied (euid=1000 
  egid=50)
 run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/exim exited with return code 1

Any ideas on what might cause this? It looks a bit as if it couldn't run as 
root and was therefore failing to open some file. Are there any handy ways to 
debug cron jobs?

- Jarno
