As it turns out there were two problems. The first was a typo. The
second was trying to use -L to automount the partition by label.
Instead in auto.misc I needed:
sata1 -fstype=ext3 :/dev/disk/by-label/SATA1
sata2 -fstype=ext3 :/dev/disk/by-label/SATA2
/dev/disk/by-label? How long has that been around?
Thanks Mikkel for helping out.
