Maybe that's a (intended) limitation of NFS in Solaris 10*. Maybe you have to set some option in order to export a filesystem across filesystem borders. For performance reasons you should mount /sp from machine A directly on C (way over B doubles network load and esp. locking latency).

Despite some special situations mounting /tmp via NFS is not that good as
(i) it's not possible to have sockets on NFS (some apps depend on such things in /tmp)
(ii) some apps do write quite heavily to /tmp (and get slow that way)
(iii) if some system deamon uses a temp file and your network breaks or gets slow your system gets into trouble

* to find out whether solaris or hp-ux doesn't do it: can you mount B:/tm on A (in some other directory)?

NAME
mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System SYNOPSIS
mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options] DESCRIPTION
mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality. mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone command with limited functionality. mount.nfs4 is used for mounting NFSv4 file system, while mount.nfs is used to mount NFS file systems versions 3 or 2. remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is to be mounted. OPTIONS
-r Mount file system readonly. -v Be verbose. -V Print version. -w Mount file system read-write. -f Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call. -n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making an entry. -s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail. -h Print help message. nfsoptions Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages. NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages. FILES
