Hmm im not sure if your Qc file is wrong or maybe one of the smd files ..

Both smd files should be in the same directory, and it is a bit easier if you rename them after their purpose.

For example here is one of my qc file with extra explanations:

// Where to save the new mdl (Path und name) ?
$modelname "K:\Gamedev Stuff\CA3d test\Static Props\TechdemoStuff\Props\Tonne\tonne01.mdl"


// Where is the folder containing the .smd ?
$cd "\Gamedev Stuff\CA3d test\Static Props\TechdemoStuff\Props\Tonne"


// Where is the 8bit .bmp diffuse texture ? (This is ONLY needed for the compilation progress in MS !! Ca3d can refer to the 24 bit version tga or png)
$cdtexture "\Gamedev Stuff\CA3d test\Static Props\TechdemoStuff\Props\Tonne"
$cliptotextures


// If enabled, all textures will be stored in a additional file ...t_mdl , i disabled this function !!
//$externaltextures


// Global scale factor, just leave it on 1.0
$scale 1.0

// What bodygroups are existing ?
$bodygroup body
{
studio "Tonne1_ref" (This is the reference smd !!!)
}



//List of animations stored ?
// seq. name | SMD name | status | from-to

$sequence idle "Tonne1_still" loop fps 1


So watch out that you named all things correctly, both smd files.
Also you must have: 1 Bone assigned to the model, and one frame of animation, even if there is nothing to move ^^
Last thing you really need, is an assigned 8 bit bmp for the diffuse slot.

If you still have problems, try to decompile a current mdl into its components, and then try to compile those files back into mdl , if it's still not working, than maybe it's milkshape.
