It turns out this was a simple syntax error in my /etc/auto.misc file.
I had to change all "--fstype=*" to "-fstype=*" and completely remove
the "--ghost" syntax from each line in the file. Lastly, I changed my
/etc/auto.master file to read:
/var/atuofs /etc/auto.master --ghost
After completing those two steps, I created symlinks in /media like this:
ln -sf /var/autofs/CompactFlash1 /media/CompactFlash
Once done, I rebooted the system and now everything works perfectly.
