I also encountered the same issue. I believe it is caused by the header information contained in the timit audio files. If you simply open it with wavesurfer you can see the header as a sharp spike in the beginning. I came up with two solutions.
1) Load the audio files in matlab (wavread/audioread) and save it with the same (or different) name (wavwrite/audiowrite). It appears that matlab removes the timit header info while loading and adds a standard riff header while saving wav files.
2) Using ch_wave command from Edinburgh Speech Tools. The idea is the same, copy the contents of the audio file to another file (or even the same file if you wish to overwrite) starting at time 0. This replaces the rusty header that is causing the trouble with a normal riff header
ch_wave myfile.wav -start 0 -o myfile.wav
Now you can use HCopy with WAV as SOURCEFORMAT
