Well I'm not really stuck. The way I've solved it is to add another mountpoint to /etc/autofs/auto.master which remains there. Then there is no problem. And I can wait. Thank you for looking to this problem. With all these steps I hope I can create a contruction which allows a more powerfull access to network resources than there exist today.
