tmpfs directory not visible with nfs

I mounted my home directory in the server from another machine with nfs and I'm able to read and write all the directories, but when I list the content of a mounted ( in the server ) tmpfs, it shows an empty directory.

I run seti@home in the server in a tmpfs partition to reduce disk access and I want to monitor it from the workstation. I already see my whole home directory there. Its only the content of the mounted tmpfs directory that I can't see ( I can access the directory without permission problems ).
my exports in the server :

to my very best knowledge, mounts are not shown in nfs export. AFAIK this was at least the case with <=NFS v3.
a similar problem with soft symlinks.

what happens if you give an extra export option which points directly to your tmpfs on the server?

talking /etc/exports here, that is.

Thanks for the reply !!!

After no success, I opted for mounting only the data directory of seti using smb.
