this is not so strange: you have no entry in B/etc/exports to mount /proj.
Add the following line to B/etc/exports:
/proj A.domain.topdomain(rw,no_root_squash)

but I do not think that nfs likes this (it complains, but it should work).

try to change the last line of A/etc/exports to:
/home	B(rw)

but I am not sure. It is possible to grant an entire domain to mount the
directory, but I do not know it by heart.

Hope this helps a bit,
