The NAMESPACE file on CRAN is not the same as the one on github.  This 
shows what is installed from CRAN:

install.packages("brlrmr")
file.show(system.file("NAMESPACE", package = "brlrmr"))

What I see is

# Generated by roxygen2: do not edit by hand

importFrom(stats,binomial)
importFrom(stats,contrasts)
importFrom(stats,is.empty.model)
importFrom(stats,model.matrix)
importFrom(stats,model.response)
importFrom(stats,na.pass)
importFrom(stats,qnorm)


Lots of imports, no exports.  I don't know roxygen2; maybe someone else 
can tell you how this kind of difference would happen.
