I don't know but hypothetically if you exported the directory and mounted
it before the partition was mounted you could get this effect.
IE if the exported directory is a mount point and it had an old copy which
the new partition was then mounted over...
EG
# umount /home
# ls /home
grant
bill
john
{ remotely mount /home directory now }
# mount /home
# ls /home
grant
bill
john
sally
fred
