Is it a genuine EPCS64 device, or a third party serial FLASH device with the same capacity? The Nios programmer only supports a small number of serial FLASH parts by default - including genuine Altera/Intel EPCS64 devices.

Have a look at this post: http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44094&highlight=flash-override which discusses how to allow the Nios programmer to support other FLASH devices.

If this doesn't solve it attach the whole trace from the Nios programmer to this post.

Cheers,

Alex
