Are you referring to the sentence in the description of "nohide" that
say "The nohide option is currently only effective on single host
exports. It does not work reliably with netgroup, subnet, or wildcard
exports."? I believe that's out of date. This should work.

The easiest option is to add "crossmnt" to the root export.

Your setup looks fine. I assume this is the /proc/ bug again.
