On the machine that is exporting the directories do:
     sudo exportfs
On the client machine:
    ifconfig
List the contents of auto.master and the auto.xxx that is going to 
import the files.

If you enable auto.net what does ls /net/nfs server name
show?

When you altered the auto.xxx file did you restart autofs?
