I use automount as well with zero problems. I don't, however, use the
default configuration.

Rather than accessing my mounts with /misc/mountpoint, I change the
/misc in /etc/auto.master with /mnt. This gives me /mnt/mountpoint as I
am used to.

To deal with the issue of browsing to a non-existant directory under
/mnt (until it is accessed), I use a symbolic link in the root
directory, eg. /cdrom which points to /mnt/cdrom.

I have had no issues whatsoever with this setup. Urpmi and RPMDrake work
flawlessly.
