I had this problem some months ago, but never found a solution. It
started to work again after some time....
Some Ideas to test:
Does the automounter unmount if you send him USR1 signal? (Worked for me)
Do the logs show something that looks like an error?
As a workaround i had set up a cron job to send the automounter a USR1
Signal to do the unmount.
