    Ok, tried your param list ... but still nada on
   the later-login mounts. Exportfs adds a bunch of
   other defaults to etab.
    It's VERY annoying.
    As best I can tell, NFS cuts in VERY early and there
   is no sane way to stop/delay it. As such it ONLY sees
   the original, empty, folder we are later gonna
   remount the USBs to.

It is working fine for me. You need "nohide" or version 4.

    Have a 4-drive external USB fixture. The drives USUALLY
   come up in order, but experience sez they won't ALWAYS
   do that. Depends on how quick the drives initialize,
   and there's one magnetic in the mix. sda/sdb/etc may
   not ALWAYS, reliably, be the same physical drives.
   A Python script can more easily probe/parse info that
   can individually identify, that's the next stage.

So, do not use sda/sdb. Use persistent naming.

   Anyway, the drives (sometimes) come up in /media/<user>
   and I have a mount statement that mounts them in my
   NFS share dir, under the appropriate sub-folder.

Define them in fstab.
