Maybe try their Acclaim format. You grab the .asf file (skeleton) and apply the .amc (motion) to it. Import it using File>Import>Acclaim... >From there you could try a rig to rig transfer in motor.
Just fyi the source data from CMU is pretty noisy. It will need a bit of clean up. Motor may take some fussing before you get the workflow but I've been able to get data across. Another fyi. There are a bunch of motor files that come with the install of Softimage which are pretty decent. Cleaner than the cmu data.
