It looks like this is correctly setting the environment variable:

^ see that it's set correctly here.

/tmp is a red herring here. virt-v2v creates a temporary mount point for
the export storage domain in /tmp, and then writes to it directly.
Specifically, in this case /tmp/dgsXFuqz0X is a temporary mount point.
virt-v2v doesn't require any significant temporary storage in this case
I still think that the problem is likely to be nfs permissions. Could
you please try the following, as root, on the virt-v2v box:
Prep: If none already exists, create user with uid:gid = 36:36.
# mkdir /tmp/ovirt-mount
# mount <ovirt-server:/path/to/export> /tmp/ovirt-mount
# su - <36 user>
$ cd /tmp/ovirt-mount/8eff2927-3bff-4b15-bdd0-8c4e0f40652d
$ ls
$ touch foo
$ rm foo
Tidy up by deleting your temporary user and group if you created one.
Do you hit any errors doing the above?
