Bruce, I recently wrestled with this same issue.
Nutch is good if you need something crawled. (e.g. apache web server, file system) Lucene is good if you need to index something that can't be crawled (e.g. database) While there are exceptions to the above, I would stick to that as a general rule of thumb when evaluating lucene or nutch to use in a project. Of course, an understanding of lucene will probably help out with nutch. IMO.
