I think export_mp2enc.so and export_mpeg2enc.so might be missing from the atrpms mjpegtools package.  I replaced the atrpms transcode and mjpegtools packages with the ones from freshrpms, and export_mp2enc.so and export_mpeg2enc.so are now present under /usr/lib/transcode.  Now I can do VCD-quality transcodes via nuvexport, no problem.
