Solution:
As it turns out, whenever I started up the automounter, I su'ed to
root without supplying the "-" so root inherited my umask. Then
is applied that umask to the automounted filesystems. I su'ed again
this time like "/bin/su -", stopped and restarted the automounter
and everything appears to be normal again.
My sincere thanks to those who responded and also to those who
pointed out the error in my return address!
