According to the documentation: The command mount does not pass the mount options unbindable, runbind- able, private, rprivate, slave, rslave, shared, rshared, auto, noauto, comment, x-*, loop, offset and sizelimit to the mount.<suffix> helpers. All other options are used in a comma-separated list as argument to the -o option. So it should not be a problem of mount.nfs.
