PS this may have been answered earlier on this list --

http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Error-running-MuMIn-dredge-function-
using-glmer-models-td4679991.html
[WARNING, broken URL to make gmane happy]

(I found this by googling "error in sprintf gettext symbol" -- this
message is hits #2 and #3)

The link suggests you can work around the problem by (1) installing
MuMIn version 1.9.14 from R-forge (2) omitting na.action=na.omit.

Your problem *might* be something different, but this looks like a
good place to start.
