Hello,

I think you are using Magento verion 1.

In your case, you can use block type="core/template" or "core/text_list" for "rendering" your template. When using block type ="cms/block "  that doesn't use for "rendering" a  template phtml. It uses for calling a static block. For example:

 <reference name="top.container">
            <block type="cms/block" name="cms.top.callout" before="-">
                <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>top_callout</block_id></action>
            </block>
</reference>

You can take a look into this file: app/code/core/Mage/Cms/Block/Block.php to see more details.
