Thanks you for reporting the problem!

I've tracked the problem and implemented a few features needed to support 
nfs (exportfs), and pushed the patch to my git tree a little while ago.

Could you try the latest version on the git tree ?
It is available as follows,

 $ git clone http://git.nilfs.org/nilfs2-module.git
 $ cd nilfs2-module
 $ make
 $ sudo make install

It may require git-core (or git) package if not installed.
