I didn't read your original post carefully enough the first time.
You show the exports file, but nowhere do I see a reference of how the
client is mounting the export from the server. THe bind mounts above
are remounting a local file system in a different location, they do
not mount an NFS share from an external server. Usually it looks
something like this:
server:/share /local/mount nfs defaults 0 0
(obviously defaults can instead be specific options)
