OK feeding back...(this is a Fedora 8 client)
# rpm -q autofs
autofs-5.0.2-16.x86_64
# uname -a
Linux dell-320-3.tobyhouse.com 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 #1 SMP Thu Nov 8 22:14:09
EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

server is RHEL
# uname -a
Linux srv1.tobyhouse.com 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5 #1 SMP Fri May 4 22:15:13 EDT
2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Temporarily using standard autofs to demonstrate (Fedora)...

tail -n 1 /etc/auto.master
/home/storage           /etc/auto.misc

tail -n 2 /etc/auto.misc
users                -fstype=nfs srv1.tobyhouse.com:/home/storage/users
files                -fstype=nfs srv1.tobyhouse.com:/home/storage/files

# grep automount /etc/nsswitch.conf
automount:  files ldap

autofs nfs mounts work fine.

now commenting out those above lines in /etc/auto.master
and /etc/auto.misc (but leaving /etc/nsswitch.conf alone)

adding to /etc/ldap.conf
# grep automount /etc/ldap.conf
nss_base_automount     \
automountmapname=auto.master,dc=tobyhouse,dc=com?sub

non-commented lines in /etc/sysconfig/autofs
DEFAULT_MAP_OBJECT_CLASS="automountMap"
DEFAULT_ENTRY_OBJECT_CLASS="automount"
DEFAULT_MAP_ATTRIBUTE="automountMapName"
DEFAULT_ENTRY_ATTRIBUTE="automountKey"
DEFAULT_VALUE_ATTRIBUTE="automountInformation"
AUTH_CONF_FILE="/etc/autofs_ldap_auth.conf"

Then restart autofs and...

doing ldapsearch from fedora 8 client seeking to automount (and
deliberately leaving off command line items to demonstrate accuracy
of /etc/openldap/ldap.conf)

# ldapsearch -x '(objectclass=automount)'
...some clippage...
# /home/storage, auto.master, tobyhouse.com
dn:
description=/home/storage,automountMapName=auto.master,dc=tobyhouse,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: automount
automountInformation: auto.home
automountKey: /home/storage
description: /home/storage

# users, auto.home, tobyhouse.com
dn: automountKey=users,automountMapName=auto.home,dc=tobyhouse,dc=com
objectClass: automount
automountInformation: srv1.tobyhouse.com:/home/storage/users
automountKey: users

# files, auto.misc, tobyhouse.com
dn: automountKey=files,automountMapName=auto.misc,dc=tobyhouse,dc=com
objectClass: automount
automountKey: files
automountInformation: srv1.tobyhouse.com:/home/storage/files

# /home/storage/files, auto.master, tobyhouse.com
dn:
description=/home/storage/files,automountMapName=auto.master,dc=tobyhouse,
 dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: automount
automountInformation: auto.misc
description: /home/storage/files
automountKey: users

# /home/storage/users, auto.home, tobyhouse.com
dn:
automountKey=/home/storage/users,automountMapName=auto.home,dc=tobyhouse,d
 c=com
automountInformation: srv1.tobyhouse.com:/home/storage/users
automountKey: /home/storage/users
objectClass: automount

# /home/storage/files, auto.misc, tobyhouse.com
dn:
automountKey=/home/storage/files,automountMapName=auto.misc,dc=tobyhouse,d
 c=com
automountInformation: srv1.tobyhouse.com:/home/storage/files
automountKey: /home/storage/files
objectClass: automount

but autofs mounts never work

;-)

perhaps it is not meant to be
