You need to specify which part of the sequence of your template you are using. Not specifying it causes the error message "Alignment sequence not found in PDB file...". You can find more information about the alignment format here: http://salilab.org/modeller/manual/node445.html#alignmentformat Also, your template seems to be a NMR structure, you need to replace the structureX with NMR.
Try using these sequences in your alignment file:
P1;1aho sequence:1aho:FIRST:@ END:::::: VKDGYIVDDVNCTYFCGRNAYCNEECTKLKGESGYCQWASPYGNACYCYK LPDHVRTKGPGRCH--*
P1;2kbhA NMR:2kbh.pdb:FIRST:@ END:::::: VKDGYIADDRNCPYFCGRNAYCDGECKKNRAESGYCQWASKYGNACWCYK LPDDARIMKPGRCNGG*
