Howdy,

I don't think it's part of TeX Live 2008. I've even generated  
natbib.sty from the ins/dtx source and it want' produced.

Also, the information from the heading of the natbib.bst file that was  
presented didn't even mention the \citep and \cited commands. Try the  
plainnat bibliography style and see what happens.

Good Luck,
