Looks like you are trying to do a structural alignment of two proteins 
that are not aligned in sequence, e.g. your input alignment looks 
something like:

protein1    AAAAAAAA--------*
protein2    -------BBBBBBBBB*
protein3    CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC*

There is no way that Modeller will be able to structurally align 
protein1 with protein2, because it needs at least 3 equivalent positions 
to do that (there is only one above).
