Hum.  When I run MakeNomenclature with the example you provided:

I get a .nls file with the following text in it:

\begin{thenomenclature}

\nomgroup{A}

   \item [{ }]\begingroup $\bar{F}_l(\Omega)$\nomeqref {0.0}
		\nompageref{1}

\end{thenomenclature}

What do you see in TeXShop's console window when you run  
MakeNomenclature?
