Great, I have that same question. Eventually came up with a workaround
that works for my case.
A while back I was trying to do exactly that, never did get it working.
My situation was:
my Truenas NAS insisted to export share path like so: /mnt/my/share
my client was hard coded to mount /home/share with zero possibility of
changing that.
so I tried to do what you are trying. A third machine mounts
/mnt/my/share then links or cross mounts to /home/share which is
exported as an NFS share.
my client machine mounts exported /home/share but it is always empty.
Eventually fixed my problem by replacing TrueNAS os with Debian on the
NAS thus gaining flexibility in share export paths. Directly exported as
/home/share worked.

I have this machine "alexandria". It mounts a directory from the nas
via NFS. When I export a parent directory on alexandria, the mount
point appears empty, even though you can ssh to it and see everything
there that should be. How do I get it to share the contents of that
mount?
