As far as I can recall, glusterfs uses NFS3 and the mount point is the 
"root" directory, so the subdirectories won't be directly mountable, I 
think you need NFS4 to be able to do what you are thinking of.

A work around would be to mount the whole share to a location on the 
client which isn't accessible for all users and then bind the directory 
you wanted to mount to the location where you wanted.

Example for fstab:
192.168.0.1:/share /protected/share nfs 
noauto,nfsvers=3,rw,bg,hard,intr,async 0 0

/protected/share /reallocation none bind 0 0
