i have now changed my setup to be totally straightforward.  /home has 
normal direct mounts for everything, like:

shipper hyperion:/disk/0/home/shipper

auto.master has:

/home auto.home  --timeout=900

on a very lightly loaded system i am seeing the following error 1-2 times 
per day:

Nov 20 22:30:01 titan automount[1743]: do_mount_indirect: indirect trigger not 
valid or already mounted /home/shipper

shipper has 4 cron jobs that fires off every 30 minutes.  when this 
problem happens, just the first cron job fails, the rest run fine.

i have just turned on automount debugging logging, but from past 
experience that seems to mask most problems.

this is on centos 5 with stock kernel and autofs rpms:
autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.88
kernel-2.6.18-92.1.18.el5

i have also enabled the nis netid feature so that i'm not using large 
amounts of privileged ports.

is there anything else i should be looking at?
