I noticed from the man page of /etc/exports, if a server exports two 
filesystems one of which
is mounted on the other then the client has to mount both the filesystems 
explicitly to get access
to the files.

 So, you might want to try giving "nohide" option in your second export on 
the server to see the hidden files.
