It should recognize that you already have an= export domain setup under that NFS share. Attach and activate it, and und= er Storage / <your export domain name> / VM Import, try importing the VM y= ou had previously exported. What I did in the past was to create a nfs share for each engine in subdirectories on the same filesystem (eg /srv/ovirt/export/beta, /srv/ovirt/export/production). After exporting from one, log in the the nfs machine and move (or cp -al) the exported domain from one to the other. It's pretty much instantaneous since it's the same file system. Saves the hassle of the disconnect/reconnect.
