Nute Gunray was not even aware of the existence of the Grand Army of the Republic (much less the fact that the troopers were clones) until the Battle of Geonosis:
Many Jedi were killed before Jedi Grand Master Yoda arrived with clone troopers from Kamino, an army that had been secretly created for the Republic.
The clone troopers' helmets hide their faces so even if Gunray and the other Separatist leaders had seen a clone trooper beforehand they would not have known that Jango was the clones' template. Jango had originally been hired by Count Dooku to be the clones' template, but obviously Dooku's involvement in the creation of the Grand Army was hidden from the Separatist leaders (otherwise the Separatist leaders would not have trusted or worked with Dooku).
Moreover, Jango Fett had actually worked as a bounty hunter for the Separatists. He was hired by Dooku to assassinate Senator Amidala because Gunray wanted her dead. The entire reason the Jedi found Kamino and learned of the Grand Army was due to Jango's involvement in this assassination attempt: Obi-Wan tracked Jango to Kamino from the Kamino saberdart he used to kill Zam Wesell after she was captured by the Jedi so that she could not reveal his involvement in the assassination attempt.
