The simple answer is - the same way it works on Solaris and Mac OS. I should see the following directories: /net/nissan/backup /net/nissan/backup/download /net/nissan/backup/pictures /net/nissan/export /net/nissan/export/home /net/nissan/export/home/shannon and so on. After autofs mounts nissan:/backup on /net/nissan, it then needs to mount nissan:/backup/download on /net/nissan/backup/download. And in the case of nissan:/export, there's nothing to mount on /net/nissan/export, so autofs needs to create a pseudo-directory that contains an entry for "home".
