suggestion
# cat /etc/auto.music
music   -rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192  10.0.0.4:/Music


afaik mount can figure out that it is an nfs mount when it sees 10.0.0.4:/Music
and soft mounts (often) silently ignore problems, hard,intr will give you 
similar enough semantics.
and does it work without the ,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 ?
