From the inputs.conf doc, it says that when using a script, the script must be located in a specific directory, which doesn't appear to be the case in your setup:

[script://<cmd>]
* The <cmd> must reside in one of the following directories:
  * $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/bin/
  * $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/$YOUR_APP/bin/
  * $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/scripts/

The monitor statement should use the full absolute path, not the $SPLUNK_HOME variable within it, again from the docs:

[monitor://<path>]
* You must specify the input type and then the path, so put three slashes in
  your path if you are starting at the root on *nix systems (to include the
  slash that indicates an absolute path).

Try changings these to follow the spec and then see what you get after.
