You should only export the filesystem once, giving the -alldirs
option.  You can't really export individual directories, only
filesystems.

/usr/export -maproot=root -alldirs testme.bluefeathertech.com

If /usr/export isn't its own filesystem, do this instead:

/usr -maproot=root -alldirs testme.bluefeathertech.com
