Actually, this is a different question from the usual "why don't I
get denominator df?" question -- it is "how are these calculated"
(since the poster is using nlme, not (n)lmer). The answer in this
case is "check Pinheiro and Bates 2000" -- I don't remember the
page number exactly, looks like it's page 91 -- see Google books:

If the denominator df don't agree with your intuition, you can
always recompute p-values with the appropriate den df:
(two-tailed) 2*pt(abs(t.score),df=dendf,lower.tail=FALSE)
