I may be missing something but it seems that you forgot to connect the EPCS nCSO and ASDI pins to the FPGA. Also why doesn't the resistor on PDATA use a correct reference designator? Are you sure it got on your PCB?

With a proper connection between the FPGA and the EPCS you should be able to access the flash through the FPGA's JTAG interface and an SFL design. I'm not sure why the verification fails on your hardware when you use the dedicated interface though.
