The PFSG lattice format is NOT the one used by nbest-lattice.  
nbest-lattice understands two kinds of format designed to encode
word posterior probabilities, both described in the wlat-format(5) man page.

The first format, word posterior lattices, is produced by lattice-tool 
-write-posteriors.
The second format, word confusion networks, aka sausages, is produced by 
lattice-tool -write-mesh .
