maybe go into edit nurbs> rebuild surface option. the options give you different ways to duplicate. hope that helps

Try this link. Half way down there is something similar to what your looking for.

Even easier:

1. Create Path (CV Curve is fine)
2. Create object to duplicate along path
3. Snap object to path start (move object close to path, then hold C to snap to curve)
4. Select the Path, and then Shift-select the object
5. Choose Animation-Animate>Motion Paths>Attach to Motion Paths
6. This will make the object animate along the motion path for the duration of your timeslider
7. Select Animation-Animate>Create Animation Snapshots (Option)
8. Choose the starting and ending times, and the increments (how many frames between snapshots of an object)
9. Hit Snapshot and the Object is duplicated along the curve

No plugins or Mel scripts required.
