Exim normally does not use a shell on its pipe transport - this is a
good thing(tm) - but in this case means that you are either getting
stripmime invoked with |/var... as the parameter, or (more likely from
the error you give) you are invoking the program called
"/usr/local/bin/stripmime.pl|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper"

I suggest you drop the stuff into its own little shell script and use
that as the delivery target.

Much of this is covered in the FAQ and documentation on the exim web
site.
