Two things come to mind:

1) the HMM macro file has been byteswapped

2) your model names are too long, or include illegal characters, or 
something is wrong with the format of your full HMM list file

I don't recall the maximum length on a model name - I think it used to 
be rather short in plain HTK, but this has been fixed (at least in HTS). 
You can find the macro defining this maximum length in the source code 
and simply increase its value. Or, maybe you should use HTS 2.1 instead 
of 2.0.1?
