(I hope everything marked as quoted from valient was really posted by
him and not Boris -- I don't remember seeing his original message, and
Boris's quoting was a little unclear in his message as I received it).

What you're describing sounds like the expected behavior:  what's
being exported is the home directory as seen by the OS, not going
through encfs (or any other fuse fs).

I use nfs to export all my home directories on my server, and then use
encfs to get at the encrypted subdirectory on the client machine.

My nfs shares look pretty much just like Boris's, except that I'm also
using autofs to automount them as needed.
