autofs for idiots

Trying to get my head around plain autofs before I attempt ldap

I can nfs mount via /etc/fstab...
#srv1:/home/storage/users  /home/storage/users  nfs  user,suid,dev,exec
0  0

It's commented out and not presently mounted

why doesn't this work? (comments removed)

# cat auto.master
/net    /etc/auto.net
/home/storage/users     /etc/auto.misc

# cat auto.misc
cd              -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom
/home/storage/users -fstype=nfs srv1:/home/storage/users

# service autofs restart
Stopping automount:                                        [  OK  ]
Starting automount:                                        [  OK  ]

# ls -l /home/storage/users
total 0

it should show all user files

Why doesn't this work?  I've been through every man page, etc.
