Please note....

/home  !=  /home/home     ( != means Not Equal )

If you "grep bobg /etc/passwd" you'd probably see something like....

bobg:x:1000:1000:Bob Goodwin:/home/bobg:/bin/bash

*********************************

Going back to your "client".

If you "ls -l /mnt/HOME1" you should see the same output as "ls -l /home/home" when logged into the server.

Notice that on the "server" there is no /home/data so that mount is actually on /nfsexports/data on the server since the "bind mount" would have failed.
