Seems like when the batch input mode is specified from the config file, vina (as installed from conda, AutoDock Vina 58016d8-mod) does not recognize the batch option and tries to read the batch regular expression (input_dir/*.pdbqt) as a file, resulting in an error. I can always specify the batch option from the command line, so it is not a big deal, but still might be worth check in.
