Problems with NFSv4 client reading mounted directories

[Machin, Glenn D]

Thanks that did it, and sure enough the CITI documentation had the
nohide attribute.  I just missed it.

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.
