I'm sorry, but this is not supportable with NFS.
NFS make demands of the filesystem that a network filesystem like CIFS
would find it very hard to meet.  This is particularly related to
mapping from an NFS file handle to an actual file in the filesystem.

You will need to find a different way to solve your problem.

The "user space" nfs server does have a --re-export option and it does
work to some extent, but there are plenty of scenarios where it would
perform very poorly or fail completely.
