Sorry, but direct maps are not supported by this version of the automounter. 
The current Sun version of the automount daemon has significant enhancements
over what was ported for the Risc System/6000 NFS. So the use of the
/- syntax, and full pathnames in the direct map are confusing the automounter.

Statements made here are my personal views and do not reflect
policy or commitments of IBM Corporation.
