I am not sure, but it sounds, to me, like you are having the same kind of trouble
I had when trying to pass a timeout value.
I had to make the following changes to get that to work on slackware 7.
--- auto.master (sometime)
+++ auto.master (now)
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
-/u auto.u --timeout 60
+/u auto.u ---timeout 60
The extra "-" was needed because some how an extra "-" was needed for rc.autofs to
pass the correct thing to automount. And then I figured out that for some reason
the order of the options to automount made a difference in it actually using the
timeout value... These changes worked for me YMMV.
