I'm not sure why you're getting Invalid Argument, but try removing all
of the db files and the corresponding lockfiles. They are just hints
that exim stores for more efficient handling of future deliveries and
aren't essential for correct operation. It's possible that you
changed the exim binary in late december, and that binary is linked
against a different libdb than the previous one was and as a result
exim can't read the db file. If that's the case, then removing them
will fix the problem.
