If you want to solve this bug once and for all, just replace "--exec $DAEMON" in your stop target with "--name automount" instead. This way, it will match pidfile and process name, which is about as reliable for getting the "right process", but won't fail on inode removal.
I'm making this change to the Ubuntu packages for now (as we're on an older version without the attempted upgrade magic), but you could save yourself a lot of headaches if you do the same in the Debian package, and scrap a bunch of the other magic used to work around the disappearing inode. ...
