Good that you could get the home directories and /- to automount. The
other two (/net and /xfn) are not being automounted because autofs does not
do the kind of mapping that is indicated in the auto.master file.
Your workaround would be to install amd (automount daemon) - another
software that does automounting - and use that to mount /net and /xfn
