It looks like you are not running this as root.  You need to.

Strange indeed.
The only time that nfsd should give this message is 
  	if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)) {

Maybe if you
  sh -x /etc/init.d/nfs start

and double check which program is producing the error, and then
   strace ....
that program.
