I'm not an expert on NBT usage, but the only way I've ever used it to save Entity specific data is within the entities class methods read/writeEntityToNBT( nbt ). Also, it doesn't work on the client side. Forgive me if you understood this already, but in my example I use it like this in the class that stands for the entity's data you wish to save and recall.

 

 

I have updated it to show the full code of the Entity:

There are a few methods to sync them. My example uses datawatchers. If you are familiar with java you should be able to grok with my example.
