I've never used pdfnup, but it's a shell script whose last line is

   exec pdfjam --suffix nup --nup 2x1 --landscape "$@"

So it's explicitly supplying options that will override the settings in 
~/.pdfjam.conf.  This is consistent with the documentation for pdfnup.  The 
latter doesn't mention ~/.pdfjam.conf; it says to supply command line options to 
override the defaults.
