I had similar problems myself... until a reply from Douglas Bates to one
of my posts, wich clarified me how to specify the random effects. You
should be able to find it at:

http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02/archive/14199.html

(or search the R site using the keywords Calboli and Crawley, should be
the first hit). I am not an expert, but you are welcome to contact me
off list for any further clarifications I can offer (not many, do not
hold your breath).

regards,
