The total contents of your .forward under Exim should be:

  "| /usr/bin/procmail -f-"

Even better is to get rid of the .forward and have Exim recognise
that you are using procmail as an LDA by inserting the following
director and transport in exim.conf:

The director:

  procmail_pipe:
    driver = pipe
    command = "/usr/bin/procmail"
    user = ${local_part}
    delivery_date_add
    envelope_to_add
    return_path_add
    from_hack

The transport:

  procmail:
    driver = localuser
    require_files = ${local_part}:${home}/.procmailrc
    transport = procmail_pipe

Voila!  Exim will see that you have a .procmailrc in your $HOME and
automagically invoke procmail as an LDA.
