To Nathanial,

I am the original author of the NADCONTransform. I do not have much time
for geotools, but I am still around.

Looking at the code, it is throwing the exception when it is checking if
the point to transform is within the conus grid (as you probably
guessed). I can't really say what is wrong until you give me some sample
coordinates (preferably in EPGS:4957 (which I assume is NAD 83, I don't
have time to look it up tonight)), but EPSG:2229 (state plane) would
also work. 

The transformation procedure you described (state plane projected CRS
--> NAD 83 geographic CRS --> NAD 27 geographic CRS) is correct. Note
that to transform from NAD 83 to NAD 27 you will need to use the inverse
transform. Using the forward transform instead would give you the wrong
answer, but is unlikely to give you a "point outside grid" exception.

If you can provide me with some test coordinates (and their CRS) I will
see what I can do.
