automounted filesystems don't work

I upgraded my Fedora Core 1 system (Dell 4550) to Fedora Core 2.
What a disaster!  Lots of stuff no longer works!

I had several automounted filesystems, local and remote, that worked
fine under Fedora Core 1.  Now they don't work at all.  Here's my
auto.master file:

# $Id: auto.master,v 1.2 1997/10/06 21:52:03 hpa Exp $
# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(8).
# /misc /etc/auto.misc  --timeout=60
/home   /etc/auto.home  -nosuid
/net    /etc/auto.net   -nosuid
/smb    /etc/auto.smb   -nosuid
#/net   -hosts          -nosuid
#/-     /etc/auto.direct        -nosuid

Here's /etc/auto.home (the machine is named "dell"):

shannon -rw,intr        dell:/export/home/shannon
nissan  -rw,intr,tcp    nissan:/export/home
download        -rw,intr,tcp    nissan:/backup/download
backup  -rw,intr,tcp    rosalind2:/backup
# Would like to mount the My Pictures directory, but that doesn't work
pictures        -fstype=smbfs,guest,rw  ://rosalind-pc/c
datsun  -rw,intr,noquota,rsize=512,wsize=512,actimeo=600 
datsun:/home/datsun# following causes too many bogus mount attempts
#*      -rw,intr        &:/export/home

/home/shannon shows nothing.

Any idea why the automounter isn't working, even for local filesystems?
