AFAIK, when you have local mounts inside an nfs export they don't
"pass through" like you would think.  You need to export and mount
both to get access to the data.

I have /var/lib/mythtv exported for my remote fe's.
I have a large drive mounted as /var/lib/mythtv/recordings

I need to export both of the above to see all data as it appears on
the host system.  If only /var/lib/mythtv is exported and mounted on
the client system the recordings directory appears empty.  So mount
export and mount /var/lib/mythtv/recordings on the client and all is
good.
