Do you get the same error message when you use festival rather than text2wave?
For example, 

% bin/festival
Festival Speech Synthesis System 1.95:beta July 2004
Copyright (C) University of Edinburgh, 1996-2004. All rights reserved.
For details type `(festival_warranty)'
festival> (voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts)
nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts
festival> (intro)

if your festival works correctly, festival starts introducing itself in female voice.
