I have solved this issue. I needed to specify the group owning the directory as the 'group' option of the transport, rather than the group of the Exim user. In the example, changing it from 'mail' to 'ooo' fixed the problem. Then the gid gets set properly, which means the database gets written properly. I had assumed that just being a member of a certain group would be enough to enable writing to that directory.
