Without checking further, there is a "dd" option for swapping big-endian to little-endian... swab. This may simply be the issue...
The output of od -x may help decode the header of the file...

Now I see the value of storing data in plain text files even more (mind Shelx or X-plor formats, for example) -;) <Sorry for helpless comment.

Any older binaries (ftp://ftp.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4/4.0.1/) will require an SGI or Dec/Alpha machine ;-) If that doesn't help I would first check that it is actually a correct MTZ file: does the ASCII header (trailer) show up with strings your.mtz towards the end?
