I thought that the rules for deriving e would be:
f(x)= e[a]
f'(x)= a*e[a]

You are not taking the derivative of e[a], you're taking the derivative of e[x]. The rule I think you're referencing is
f(x) = e[u(x)]
f' = e[u(x)] * d/dx(u).
Therefore:
f(x) = e[x]
f'(x) = e[x] * d/dx(x) = e[x] * 1 = e[x]

Oh yes, now I remember. Many thanks, it's greatly appreciated.
