Hatuey,

There is no need for the CUBE file -- Jmol reads the MO coefficients 
directly from the output. Just make sure you use the gfprint option in 
your calculation.

Gaussian output is parsed by Jmol to include multiple models. Generally 
it is the second model that is associated with the MOs, so perhaps just 
using

  model 1.2

will do the trick. But, really, there is no need for CUBE files for 
molecular orbitals.
