How are you trying to do the nfs mount?  Something like this 
should work (I haven't tried it, but... <G>):

$mount /mnt/dvd
$
$cat /etc/exports
...
/mnt      (ro,insecure,all_squash,nohide)
$

The last option, no_hide, *should* all the filesystem 
mounted on /mnt/dvd (and all other mountpoints in /mnt) to 
be exported.  Read The Fine Manual page for exports(5).

Rereading the 'nohide' section, you may have to use explicit 
IPs and/or hostnames.  Appearantly wildcard and subnet 
exports don't work with this option.  So that line should 
look like this:

/mnt       mythbox(ro,insecure,all_squash,nohide)

When I get a chance I will try this myself.
