The exports(5) man page says fsid=num is necessary for filesystems on non-block devices - I don't know whether this includes loopback filesystems. Have you tried exporting a Squashfs filesystem mounted on a real block device? I've never tried to export a Squashfs filesystem, and so I don't know if it works. If it doesn't, I would say it is because Squashfs (like Cramfs) doesn't store correct nlink information for directories. The next release does store nlink information, has support for > 4GB files/filesystems, and other nice improvements. I'm hoping to release an alpha release soon.
