NFS problem

I am having a strange problem with my NFS Server and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas.

My NFS Share is a single folder off of the root file system, /Storage. Under that folder are 3 other folders, Music, Videos, and Backup. Each of those folders has a separate reiser filesystem mounted to it. Under Backup are 2 more folders, one for my desktop and one for my wife's, each is a separate Reiser filesystem. /Storage is mounted on My desktop to /nfs. When I browse through /nfs I can see all the files in all of the folders except Backup\mydesktop. on the server I can browse through all of the files on Backup\mydesktop just fine. I am logged in as root on the server and my desktop, and all of the files on all of the file systems are owned by root:root and set to mode 744.

What can I do to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

$ man exports

and look for the nohide option.

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried that just now but it did not work. I also tried crossmnt and no_subtree_check which did not work either. I changed my exports file to export Backup/mydesktop and was able to mount it and see all of the files in it.

Same issue here. The nohide option should do it but doesn't.
I'm loading the nfsd module from gentoo-sources-2.6.21 and net-fs/nfs-utils-1.0.12-r1. Starting the nfs server doesn't report errors but mounting the export still hides files on external partitions. Compiling the kernel module with NFSv4 support fails when loading like this:
