Thanks joost for your help. Happily, the source was available :-),
and a quick look at the code showed me that the error was stemming
from a call to lstat(). Turns out that nfsd requires access
permission to every component of the path to the exported directory.
I had inadvertently removed all world privileges to /usr/local, which
meant that nfsd wouldn't allow /usr/local/java to be mounted by
anyone. One quick chmod later and I was a happy sysadmin again.
Thanks again,
Rob.
