I found it!
I got the problem licked!

This was stupid. I changed the permissions on the directory
/home/coffee/public to 755 and owner root. As soon as I did this the whole
nfs filesystem was r/w available to the normal user coffee.

I do believe its the execute bit that has to be set on all the files.

chmod -R 755 /home/coffee/public

I can now export with no problems.
