I'm not sure about using this older syntax.
Even if it is correct and we find a bug with it I'd be inclined to
recommend using the newer syntax if possible.

That would be (IIRC):
automountInformation: ldap://ldapserver/ou=auto.project,dc=phy,dc=duke,dc=edu

Log a RHEL bug (you probably should go via support actually) and include
a full debug log.

That is set LOGGING="debug" in /etc/sysconfig/autofs "and" ensure that
daemon.* output is being captured by syslog.
