I found a solution involving hidden directories and soft links - but im
still not quite happy with this approach.

autfs.master
/home/user/.autofs      /etc/autofs.user

autofs.user
dir     -tfstype=nfs,rw         some.host:///home/user/dir

ln -s .autofs/dir dir

I don't like using soft links all the time - but it works

I should just be able to use dir as both the autofs mount point and the
key mount point rather than hiding it
