I think I may have sorted it out, ... the problem is that we mount the autofs mounted drives soft (to prevent locking during network hiccups). However, in that particular situation, the mount doesn't necessarily happen fast enough to prevent file-not-found issues on as- yet-unmounted mount-points. A different mailing list I'm on indicated that this was a "common problem" and one which basically can be solved by going to "hard" mounts. Or are you saying you're also using the "soft" option and don't have this problem?
