Maybe the API is not yet available for AVR in 4.10.
You should try again with the old API with something like

      TwInit(0);
      if (TwMasterError())
        {
          /*FIXME: Toggle some pin here*/
        }    
      TwIOCtl(TWI_SETSPEED,&TWI_speed);
      if (TwMasterError())
        {
          /*FIXME: Toggle some pin here*/
        }
      rc =TwMasterTransact(a, lbuf, 1, NULL, 0, 1);

It's a pity that neither there is an example in the app directory using
either the old or the new Api. I will try to find time to write an example,
but don't hold your breath.
