Sorry for the long delay, was out of town for a few days.
Yes, I realize the blahblahblah is crucial... it's just not applicable
to my problem, I already have autofs functioning in the above fashion.
It's the below that's confusing me, I'll try to clarify.

Ok... here's what I'm trying to explain... let's say it's not /mnt and
is instead
/.autofs/Chicago/share1/
/.autofs/Chicago/share2/
Share 1 is coming from the UNC path \\machine1\someshare
Share 2 is coming from the UNC path \\machine2\someothershare
It appears to me autofs won't support this. At least not if I'm setting
up my map file at the .autofs level. Basically what I'm trying to ask
is, can I setup a file at the .autofs level, which is mapped at the
share1/share2 (above) levels.
Below is my actual auto.mnt (I'll change the mnt part later, you make
great points on that)
backups & chicago both work flawlessly... solaris-1/SHADOW0 and uk/share
and packages/setups do not work. All three let me go to the first level
(solaris-1, uk & packages respectively) but they are empty folders, and
I cannot access the actual shares (SHADOW0, share & setups respectively)
