First question: as far as I have seen yes. Again as far as I know Linux
Can export mounted filesystems that are mounted in a subdirectory but
FreeBSD seems to follow the standard for NFS which says that you must export
each filesystem explictly.
(Note: I do not intend to start a Linux - FreeBSD discussion with the
above!!)

Second question: 
	a) what are the permissions on that directory (d--------- ?)
	b) did you try to mount (on the client side) as root?
		if so you might have to include a -maproot=<uid> option
		in your /etc/exports.

Hope 
	a) the above was correct
	b) it helps ;-)
