You can use >no more nor no less directory levels. It must be EXACTLY two! My questions are: 1) Is this true - is there something we're missing? 2) Is the automounter going to improve - a lot of people seem to be griping about it. 3) Are there patches to AMD to get it to run on RS/6000 machines (and is AMD good generally - I've never used it).
