`man 8 mount` sez an exit code of 32 means "mount failed".  Very helpful.  >:-(

One thing I forgot that's always an issue...do you use NetworkManager
or ye olde network service?  If it's the former, try running
`systemctl enable NetworkManager-wait-online` and rebooting.
Sometimes systemd tries to mount stuff before NM gets the network up.
(I thought they had fixed this to just do the right thing when remote
FSes were in the mix nowadays, but maybe I'm mistaken.  Or it broke
again with F20??)

Also, double-check your network connection settings and make sure the
"system connection" box is checked.  I'm pretty sure this is the
default (or maybe even not configurable) with GNOME, but other
desktops' NM UIs sometimes don't set this, so the network doesn't come
up on boot by default.

If all that fails, is the above just the output from `systemctl
status`?  `journalctl -b` might reveal some messages from the kernel
that systemctl's magic log grepper might not be picking up.
