Johannes - There's something special about the way control parameters are accepted by nlm() and nlme(). Try searching very recent help archives for nlme() or control. Try duplicating exactly one of the examples at the bottom of the help page help("nlm"). My recollection is that the parameter that you actually pass has to be literally a function, maybe one with a specific name. But that's jsut vague recollection. Others will have better information.
