Pardon me for sounding sceptical... autofs does mount NFS via the "mount"
command the same way you would off the command line.
Possibilities:
a) You have more than one mount(8) installed, and you end using different
ones;
b) NFS does something strange when invoked from autofs.
What version of autofs (kernel and userspace) are you running?
-hpa
