David, I'm not sure what is wrong. The ALLCAPS "ERROR 1:..." is an indication that the original error is being thrown from the OGR library, likely specifically the VRT Layer provider in OGR, and Mapnik is simply catching this error and re-throwing.
Could you try converting that VRT to another file type using ogr2ogr, and see if you get the error still?
