I'm sorry, it doesn't work like you expect.

On the OpenBSD server:

~% grep usb /etc/fstab
/dev/sd0i  /mnt/usb     msdos   rw,nodev,nosuid,noauto,noexec    0       0
~% grep usb /etc/exports 
/mnt/usb -maproot=han:nfs marsupilami
~% mount |grep usb
/dev/sd0i on /mnt/usb type msdos (NFS exported, local, uid=1000, gid=0)
~% sudo pkill -HUP mountd
~% ls /mnt/usb 
foofile

On the linux client:

~% mount G /mnt/usb
haddock:/mnt/usb on /mnt/usb type nfs (rw,addr=172.16.11.1)
~% ls /mnt/usb
