Hm, I notice the module loads properly at first try:

mar 11 13:02:47 arch.local kernel: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' 
taints kernel.
mar 11 13:02:47 arch.local kernel: Disabling lock debugging due to 
kernel taint
mar 11 13:02:47 arch.local kernel: nvidia 0000:01:00.0: enabling device 
(0006 -> 0007)
mar 11 13:02:47 arch.local kernel: vgaarb: device changed decodes: 
PCI:0000:01:00.0,olddecodes=io+mem,decodes=none:owns=none
mar 11 13:02:47 arch.local kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 
Kernel Module  313.26  Wed Feb 27 13:04:31 PST 2013

There's also this

mar 11 13:02:57 arch.local bumblebeed[383]: modprobe: FATAL: Module 
bbswitch not found.
mar 11 13:02:57 arch.local bumblebeed[383]: [   20.959851] [ERROR]Module 
bbswitch could not be loaded (timeout?)
mar 11 13:02:57 arch.local bumblebeed[383]: [   20.959868] [WARN]No 
switching method available. The dedicated card will always be on.
mar 11 13:02:57 arch.local bumblebeed[383]: [   20.960960]

What's "bbswitch" anyways? As I said, I never used bumblebee, but that 
might be a source of your problems.

If you google for

NVRM: failed to copy vbios to system memory.

You can notice someone having problems with bumblbee earlier.

If this is true then you might not be able to use it at all.

Another issue is this one

And you can find one on Arch forums, too
