This question would probably be better on the r-sig-mixed-mod...@r-project.org list. glmer.nb() is _only_ in development versions of lme4, not in the stable version on CRAN, and furthermore it is still quite new and poorly tested. If you want to try it out you are probably best of installing from github via install_github in the devtools package. Alternatively you could try the glmmADMB package, on r-forge.
