This is a bug in the EDS. When nios2-download is called, and you have not set a System ID in Nios II Hardware configuration -> Project -> Advanced -> System ID -> ID, the EDS is calling nios2-download with --sidp=Not Found, rather than --sidp="Not Found". Sometimes the system will work regardless, but if you look in the correct console you'll see an error message. It should not be necessary to set that System ID, but setting it to an arbitrary number is a hack to work around the bug. I am using Nios II Software Build Tools for Eclipse (SBT4E) Version: 13.1.0.182 Build id: 201403130039. It would be nice if Altera would fix the bug.
