Actually, I just use fetchmail to download from my ISP's POP3 store to 
my local Cyrus IMAP server (via procmail).

So your situation is completely different.  I don't see how you could 
use fetchmail to do what you are wanting to do.

What happens if you run cyrdeliver manually while logged on as the 
'mail' user (assuming your exim is running as that)?  You might have 
some kind of permissions problem.  fetchmail is running as root for me, 
so that's might be why it works for me, but not in the context of exim 
for you.
