Some applications wont trigger automounting, especially if your doing
file browsing. You have to type the direct path or you have to go to a
command tool and do an ls of that dir to get it to mount. I encountered
this with WABI Applicaitons and AutoCAD.

Automount still has a lot of advantages. Like using them in auto_direct
maps with NIS+. One config file, you don't have to go to each machine
and change the vfstab.
