I read it. Try using -browse or browse (not --browse). It might prevent the top directories from being removed after expire (and when you access these it will re-create the sub-directories each time so that will be OK) but it wont be able to create the directories initially because it's a program map and autofs doesn't have a way to ask it for a list of it's keys.
