Hi,

It's at the moment not possible to make not existing mounts visible. This 
would only be possible by mounting them and then you don't need automount at 
all.
Perhaps a "hack" that makes the directories visible, will be included in 
future releases.
See also autofs-4.0.0pre10/TODO:

autofs v5 TODO list
-------------------
* visible mountpoints

If you want the feature now, you have to install Solaris on your machines ;-)
Or you can use the BSD automounter amd...
