Hi Paola
you must be sure that all the file and code names are correct. So please check if in your top file the pdb file-name is the same as your actual pdb file name, and it is also the same with what you have in your alignment file (pXXXX.pdb ?)
Please delete the dots from your alignmnet file comment line, this might be disturbing
instead of >structureX:pXXXX:.::.::::: use structureX:pXXXX::::::::
Also, in the second entry you have a missing X:
instead of > structure:pAveM:2::211::::: use structureX:pAveM:2::211::::
Also check that if the pdb file contains exactly the same sequence as your alignment file.
in general, you probably have some syntax problem to fix.
best wishes
