Here's what I would do; cd to /export then run this command

tar cvf - * | (cd /space ; tar xvf - ) & when it's done check the
sizes of both filesystems to make sure everything was tarred over.
then umount /export and /space change the /etc/vfstab entries for
/space to now be /export call the old /export something else and mount
/export. done.
