Maybe, you should add cfi flash device to your flash programmer design, though you have no cfi flash in you project. You can refer to

In Flash programmer failures on custom boards parts,

The flash programmer may fail if the custom target board does not contain a CFI flash component. Even if the board contains only an EPCS configuration device and no CFI flash, the target board system must contain a CFI flash component.

Workaround: Add a CFI flash component to your target board in SOPC Builder. You do not need to connect the flash signals to pins at the top level--you can leave them unconnected.[/b]

I hope this can help you.
