 Looks like there an information text line that is uncommented, right after the DNP3 preprocessor, line 507, it says 
"snort is". If you comment that line, and try again, do you still get the same error?

Check the rules section in the snort.conf files. Do you have a rules file with the name snort.rules? Also check the 
rules folder path in your conf file.
