[SOLVED] Problem getting share of embedded folders...

I'm doing this all through fstab.

Here is how my server is set up...

On the system drive...

/home/home-server/shared

A seperate drive mounted at...

/home/home-server/server_files/Movies

Another seperate drive mounted at...

/home/home-server/server_files/TV-Shows

When I mount an NFS share from...

/home/home-server/server_files

to my desktop at...

/home/damion/NetDrive

I can access this share fine but the Movie and TV-Shows folders are empty.

I know that this is because they are on seperate drives. But when I try to mount either the Movies or TV-Shows folders to ANY location on my desktop I get an error saying that the server denied connection. I have tried using the drives' /dev locations on the server in my desktop's fstab as well as the full addresses. But either way I still get an denied connection. I'd rather not change the way my server is set up because I have a set top that I stream to that works fine as it is.

Here's the desktop's fstab:

# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0

#/dev/cdrom             /media/cd   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
#/dev/dvd               /media/dvd  auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
#/dev/fd0               /media/fl   auto    user,noauto             0      0

/dev/sdb1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb3 / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/sdb4 /home ext4 defaults 0 1
192.168.1.100:/home/home-server/server_files    /home/damion/NetDrive    nfs    rsize=1024,wsize=1024 0 0
192.168.1.100:/home/home-server/server_files/Movies     /home/damion/Movies     nfs    rsize=1024,wsize=1024    0 0
192.168.1.100:/home/home-server/server_files/TV-Shows    /home/damion/TV-Shows     nfs    rsize=1024,wsize=1024 0 0

Is there a way to mount these folders that are on seperate drives from the server's system on to my desktop? Is this problem happening because the seperate drives are mounted within the share folder on the server?

Re: [SOLVED] Problem getting share of embedded folders...

Ok I feel really dumb, lol. I guess I have had a long standing issue with my server's /etc/exports file... A couple of little typos can make you chase your tail all day long.
