Fondu also fails under Lion, with much the same error message. It seems to be necessary to convert each PostScript LWFN to macbinary format first. Eg,

macbinary encode AJenIta 

which will create AJenIta.hqx, and you can then run

t1unmac AJenIta.hqx ajenita.pfb

Another Lion issue--copying using the Finder can destroy resource forks.
