i've seen similar behavior in my setup; i think its because the mount
request still comes in from root (via autofs in the kernel). the way i
work around this effect is using the uid=X arguments in my /etc/auto.*,
altho this limits it to a single user...which is fine for all of the consoles
i use it on.
a more lab-friendly workaround might use gid=X and umask=770 if they apply
to all filesystems (seems unlikely to work with ext2fs just as a guess..)
