No, there is not a way to prevent them.  The basic problem is that the
requests could be valid;  how is the automounter to know which
directory lookups to ignore?  haldaemon has been responsible for some
problems in the past, but its authors chose to include special cases
for automount-managed directories.  This is not the most ideal
solution, I guess, but it is the most attractive from the autofs point
of view.

Can you find out which applications are causing these lookups and file
bugs in their respective bug trackers?
