Any autofs patches been applied to the kernel? Are you using kernel module versioning? If so does the autofs module version match the kernel version? Have you tried compiling autofs into the kernel?

What mount are you using? Is it modified to not update mtab?

How about using autofs-4.1.3 and using the --debug option to get debug output. Is the syslog you use able to send output to a loghost?
