Hello Jonathan, I have experienced this issue a few times with snippets. Usually I had some error in my snippet and then it seemed to mess up the whole kickstart profile I was trying to attach it to. If I remember I had to delete that snippet and kickstart profile, run cobbler sync, recreate kickstart profile,( just cloned and that worked), then rebuild snippet making sure it was ok. Then would place in my kickstart script and when I clicked template it worked. I had tried several times, and like I mentioned if I got those errors below once, only way I was able to resolve was to both rebuild snippet and profile.
