This will not work because in this way you are blocking IP datagram with
source mac address equal to 00:13:a9:c3:ae:8f. Batman packets are not IP
datagram, so you can't block them by means of iptables.

As Marek suggested, you should use something like ebtables. But honestly I
remember that ebtables support has been removed from batman some time
ago.
