Hi Salome,
All of the yt features you discuss should work just fine with Enzo data.
I can't seem to find that exact error message, so it's possible you're working with an outdated version of yt, at least with respect to this functionality. If you run "yt instinfo", you can find out what version you're on. If you're able to update to a later version and are still getting such an error, I would guess it's because the halos are too small to be profiled.
Sorry it took so long for you to get a response to this message. Please do follow up if you have additional questions and I should be able to get back to you sooner.
