What does "pwd -P" tell you (if you've /bin/bash). What happens if you
"cd ." or "cd `pwd`"?

I rebooted the host and the message while restarting is gone.

What the?!

I don't know how you restarted your exim.

The message you saw I know if somebody changed the permissions on a
parent directory or if my working directory doesn't exist anymore.

$ mkdir x
$ cd x
$ rmdir ../x
$ bash
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
