Don't you mean the root directory??
So the /etc/exports file should look like this.
/ B(rw,sync,norootsquash)
and you create your mount point. /mnt/tmp1
then mount it as.
mount B:/ /mnt/tmp1
That should work, as I use a similar type of config and it works fine.
And just make sure that the NFS ports are open in the firewall.
