This is just a guess, but you probably need to reference the host page (the one where the Google Analytics JS code has been included) via $wnd in the JSNI, like this:

public static native void recordAnalyticsHit(String pageName) /*-{

<script type="text/javascript">
    var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
   var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxx-x");
   pageTracker._trackPageview("/subdirectory/pagename");
</script>
