I had this problem some months ago, but never found a solution. It started to work again after some time.... Some Ideas to test: Does the automounter unmount if you send him USR1 signal? (Worked for me) Do the logs show something that looks like an error? As a workaround i had set up a cron job to send the automounter a USR1 Signal to do the unmount. Ramin
