Here is an autofs configuration that should work in your situation
(assuming the variables you mentioned in your previous post).

Add to /etc/auto.master:

   /backup	/etc/auto.backup --timeout=10

In /etc/auto.backup, put:

  hardy-backups	-fstype=ntfs-3g :/dev/disk/by-label/hardy-backups

Then restart autofs and cd to /backup/hardy-backups.
