(A) Empty file? Does the file open in PyMol? Also, you can always split it there with `split_states`.

(B) Is the file really called `output.pdbqt` or is it `output.pdbqt.txt` and Windows is hiding the extension?

There could be many reasons. Maybe lack of permissions or the space in the path. Can you open the file with a different program? Are you on Linux or Windows etc.
