Is there any way to re-export an nfs mounted directory?

I have exported a directory (/home/backup) on the server and mounted it
on a client at /home/backup:

client# mount server:/home/backup /home/backup

I have then exported a sub-directory, /home/backup/test, from the client
to other machines. However, I am getting a "permission denied" on the
other machines when I try to mount client:/home/backup/test

I am able to access the files if I share the same through samba, so it
appears to be some configuration issue with nfs. Both machines are
running etch and nfs-kernel-server version 1:1.0.10-6+etch.1

Please help me out

Thanks,
Raj Kiran Grandhi

No. At least, not with the kernel NFS server.

The userspace NFS server can re-export, but I haven't tested it other
than noticing that mounts work. This is almost certainly unsupported,
so you may run into obscure bugs. It's probably a bad idea.

I'd suggest finding some way to avoid having to re-export the
filesystem, maybe by giving both sets of clients access to the server.
