You are trying to run on Hadoop 2 and Mahout only works with Hadoop 1 and related branches. This wont work.
However the CDH distributions also come in an 'mr1' flavor that stands a much better chance of working with something that is built for Hadoop 1. Use 2.0.0-mr1-4.3.1 instead. (PS 4.3.2 and 4.4.0 are available now) You will likely still have to compile Mahout again with this different dependency to get it to work but with any luck that's it.
