User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.3-2.10.1smp i686)

Description of problem:
I have four RH7.2 installs none are able to mount via autofs a yptable,
auto.mail, although auto.master is loaded.  Contents of auto.master:
/home	auto.master	--timeout=30
/var/spool/mail	auto.mail	--timeout=30

auto.master looks like this:
*	192.168.1.13:/vol/vol0/home/&
auto.home looks like this:
*	192.168.1.5:/var/spool/mail/&

The home directories are mounted correctly, but not the mail dirs.
Here is the output from "/sbin/service autofs status":

Configured Mount Points:
------------------------
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 30 /home yp auto.home 
rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 30 /var/spool/mail yp auto.mail 
rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft

Active Mount Points:
--------------------
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 30 /home yp auto.home
rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft
/usr/sbin/automount --timeout 30 /var/spool/mail yp auto.mail
rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft

However, mount shows this:

I have mounted the drive directly with no problems (mount -t nfs...).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Expected Results:  Should mount auto.mail

Additional info:

RH6.2 and other clients (sun, hp) are able to mount this drive via the yp
tables
