You're in the right file

Look for

<!-- body_eof //-->

<!-- footer //-->
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100&#37;" style="background-image:url(<?php echo DIR_WS_TEMPLATES;?>/images/footbg.gif);height:11px;">
  <tr>
[omitted stuff from my footer]
  </tr>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;<p>&nbsp;<p>&nbsp;<p>&nbsp;   
<!-- footer_eof //-->

it's at the bottom of that file.

Like Met00 says, you've got the right file. I think the code he's suggested refers to modifying the image that appears in the footer, and in the thumbnail you've provided it is repeating horizontally to fill the page.

As it happens my problem was the other way round. I wanted to make the fallback template 750px wide, and took the code from the mainpage.tpl.php you are using.

The lines that you need to remove are actually commented (thats how I found them to copy to fallback), and remember the center table (I didn't).

To continue this further you may also want to consider using fallback as your base template (rather than aabox) as I found this 'simpler' to work with and less to remove (like the clouds you've had to). I'm sure there's more experienced templaters lurking that may agree or disagree with this, but I definately found it easier to work with fallback (check out my site in profile, this was made starting with fallback).

Hope that helps, J.

Since I don't use AABOX I don't have access to their template. But, I do recomend that you don't make any changes to fallback. If you want to create a NEW template, create the directory and start to move over to that template the files you want from the AABOX template. Then go to the admin and start using that new template.

In other words. Use BTS the way it is supposed to be used.
