Which version of Mathematica you are using? With the version 5.0.1 we 
get the following

In[114]:=
$Version
$ReleaseNumber

Out[114]=5.0 for Linux (November 18, 2003)

Out[115]=1

In[113]:=
NIntegrate[
  Exp[-2.683172/(4*sig)]*
    Erfc[Sqrt[(1000-1)/(1000-sig)]*((1.07327/
                  2)+(sig-1)/(2*0.000132817))]/(sig^(1.5)),{sig,1,1000},
  MaxRecursion\[Rule]200]

Out[113]=
0.0000248065
