The format of this pdb file is incorrect. Compare one of your lines:
ATOM 1 C5 BTN 1 0.163 -0.562 -0.563 0.00 C
To a file from the PDB databank:
ATOM 1 N ARG 1 12.579 -6.640 11.376 1.00 24.04 6PTI 73
In your file the atom number and name are shifted left two spaces. The
atom number field is ignored, so that appears to work. Also your residue
name is in the correct columns so the segment statement succeeds as well.
However, since the atom name field includes a space to the left of
three-letter names (that is used for four-letter names) psfgen is reading
the name of your first atom as "5" instead of "C5". Therefore the "failed
to set coordinate" warning below is saying that no match is found in your
structure for the atom named "5" in residue from ../biotin2.pdb.

You should see similar atom name problems if you tried reading this pdb
file into VMD. You might want to ask the MOE developers what format they
are using, and if there is a way to write a standard-conforming file.
