"format error in lattice file"?

[Andreas Stolcke]

PFSG format supports only a single score so there is no way to
combine acoustic and LM probabilities etc.

You should encode your lattices in HTK format, rescore the
lattices with your chosen LM, and decode using a weighted 
combination of scores.
