Problem one: My brain is getting tired. It's pretty damn obvious that I'm not nearly in as good a shape as I was last year. I'll make 50k, but it'll be a bit of a struggle. Actually, I should probably try to take it slow to avoid overexerting myself.
Problem two: The story isn't really working out. As I think I said near the beginning, I had planned to have three main plotlines, but two of them got brutally axed in an attempt to keep the story even close to 50k. Unfortunately it turns out that those plotlines were necessary for the thing to make sense and have a decent ending (not to mention that some characters now have no reason to exist). So now I'm trying to make up mind if I should take it to 50k and then simply stop, or if I should try to bring it to some kind of cliffhanger-like end. Or maybe go Hamlet on their asses and kill everybody off.

This is my first attempt at NaNoWriMo and I'm not going to get it done. I have no idea how you write 2,000 words in a day. I just can't seem to do it. Moreover, I am deep in a plot hole.
So I think you are doing pretty well!

Last year I managed to do more than 2000 words a day by a) not working fuil time, and b) having a fairly detailed plan of the story divided into 30 distincts bits, so I would focus on doing one bit a day. It worked very well for getting used to writing a lot quite quickly, although it also brought a certain rigidity to the plot and characters. Excellent training exercise, though. IMO, of course.
