[plug] NFS won't mount sub-mounted drives.

Ok... In short, heres the problem.
On my export on server I have the following;-

/bigkev guildpc7.murdoch.edu.au(rw,no_root_squash)

and on same server fstab

/dev/hdc2       /bigkev         ext2    defaults,errors=remount-ro      0
$

Ok...

Now on the client (guildpc7)

guild.murdoch.edu.au:/bigkev  /mnt/bigkev     nfs     user

Unfortunately this does not work.... If I point to anything on the root
drive  of the server rather than a sub-mounted drive it works
fine, but say I mount / and then cd into the bigkev drive, bigkev comes up
empty (But cd'ing into it on server it comes up normally populated).

Any ideas. This is puzzling the hell outa me.

Cheers,
Shayne.
