mount ntfs, then nfs export it - empty folder shown on client

Hi, I have:
Server:
- ip=192.168.16.111
- ext4 partitions
- ntfs partition /dev/sda1

/etc/fstab mounts the ntfs partition at:
  /home/c-drive/

I can read/write that folder and it's directories from root and my user 
account (locally).

I setup nfs export of /home/ to 192.168.16.104


Client:
- ip=192.168.16.104
- mount -t nfs4 192.168.16.111:/ /home/dtnotebook/

- ls -l /home/dtnotebook
shows the folders including c-drive that are present on the server

- ls -l /home/dtnotebook/c-drive
shows no files nor folders present.

I googled my way around the earth and back, trying each suggestion, eg:

The info I have found (circa 2007) said you either need to:
1. recompile fuse source and create a new kernel module, but this seems 
to be working from fuse >= 2.7.4, and to use:
2. use a kernel > 2.6.14, which has the export of ntfs capability.

Anybody got this working, and/or could post the /etc/fstab and 
/etc/exports and the client command that are actually working ?
