I don't particularly like to do things 'to get around' issues; I'd 
rather understand what's going on and why things are happening. The 
troubleshooting page on tldp's NFS how-to alluded to a permission 
problem where server and client uids and gids aren't matched, but mine are.

I've done a look-see on some automount tutorials and howto's.... jeesh, 
auto_direct, auto_master, blah blah blah. That seems to be a lot more 
work to do something that oughta work just fine with fstab. :(
