Please try to swap byte order of *.pdf files and put them in the hts folder:

swab +f voices/qst001/ver1/mcp.pdf > cmu_us_awb_arctic_hts/hts/mcep.pdf
swab +f voices/qst001/ver1/lf0.pdf > cmu_us_awb_arctic_hts/hts/lf0.pdf
swab +f voices/qst001/ver1/dur.pdf > cmu_us_awb_arctic_hts/hts/duration.pdf

The hts module in the current festival is based on hts_engine in HTS-1.1.
At that time (HTS-1.1), I didn't concern anything about byte order.
Binary files (*.pdf and *.win files) have to be saved in architecture's natural byte order (x86->little, sparc->big). 
So it has a compatibility problem.

In HTS-1.1.1, I decided to use big endian for binary files in hts_engine.
I sent a patch to Dr. Alan W. Black about this issue, but it has not been included yet in the festival release.
