Why are you using an automounter if you want all the directories to be there all the time? The whole point of autofs is that it only mounts the subdirectories when they are accessed. It is non-trivial to provide a stub entry for all the possible subdirectories, so you'll have to get used to the fact that automounts don't appear until they are accessed. It's one of the more common complaints we get from new users: "/vol/bitbucket isn't there on my machine!" "Try cd'ing into it" "Oohhh." But people get used to it pretty quickly.
