Presumably mail to these mailboxes is delivered via an appendfile transport ? 
If so, then

http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_appendfile_transport.html

and look at the allow_symlink directive. It's false by default. You'll want to 
set it to true for your appendfile transport.

If not, post more details and we'll investigate further.
