Do you have the appropriate permissions to mount?  Try to mount it manually  
using the mount command.  Also, autonfsmount doesn't understand maps in the  
form of "machine1,machine2,machine3:/filesystem" as the Sun automounter does.   
This caused me some grief until I discovered it, and ended up writing a short  
sed script to remove the extra machines (which were there only because Sun  
doesn't do multihomed hosts properly).
