AUTOFS/NIS permission issue

This is unfortunately for a Tru64 5.1 PK4 system.

I have Autofs running and it seems to read and mount the NIS maps, however, on a couple of maps, eventhough is says (rw), the user home directory of /home is (ro). See cut and paste Below. This prevents the automounting of Users home directories. the auto.vol nis maps work just fine. The other file system is auto.sysadmin that has same issue. Works fine with "AUTOMOUNT". There is no local /etc/auto.master (auto_master), or /etc/auto.home (auto_home). These do not help the situation.
The real problem is with automount, the home directories get mounted under /tmp_mnt/home/<user>. So users enviroment variables have to be changed throughout their developement environment on this server. AutoFS is suppose to remedy this.

The NIS server is a Solaris 10. The Nfs Server is also a Solaris 10 box. I have no issues with HP/UX boxes or Solaris boxes using same NIS/NFS servers.

Code:

 
# mount -e
root_domain#root on / type advfs (rw)
/proc on /proc type procfs (rw)
usr_domain#usr on /usr type advfs (rw)
usr_domain#var on /var type advfs (rw)
home_domain#home on /bulldogs type advfs (rw)
auto.sysadmin on /sysadmin type autofs (rw, nogrpid)
auto.home on /home type autofs (rw, nogrpid)
auto.vol on /vol type autofs (rw, nogrpid)
-hosts on /net type autofs (rw, nogrpid)

# mkdir /home/old
mkdir: cannot write directory /home
/home: Permission denied

automount2amd

AUTOMOUNT2AMD(8L)														 AUTOMOUNT2AMD(8L)

NAME

       automount2amd - converts old Sun automount maps to Amd maps

SYNOPSIS

       automount2amd auto.map

DESCRIPTION

       automount2amd is used to convert an old Sun automount maps named auto.map to an Amd map.

       This perl script will use the following /default entry
	   type:=nfs;opts:=rw,grpid,nosuid,utimeout=600
       If you wish to override that, define the $DEFAULTS environment variable, or modify the script.

       If  you	wish to generate Amd maps using the hostd (host domain) Amd map syntax, then define the environment variable $DOMAIN or modify the
       script.

EXAMPLE

       Say you have the Sun automount file auto.foo, with these two lines:
	 home		       earth:/home
	 moon  -ro,intr        server:/proj/images
       Running
	   automount2amd auto.foo > amd.foo
       will produce the Amd map amd.foo with this content:
       # generated by automount2amd on Sat Aug 14 17:59:32 US/Eastern 1999

       /defaults 
	 type:=nfs;opts:=rw,grpid,nosuid,utimeout=600

       home   host==earth;type:=link;fs:=/home 
	 rhost:=earth;rfs:=/home

       moon   -addopts:=ro,intr 
	 host==server;type:=link;fs:=/proj/images 
	 rhost:=server;rfs:=/proj/images

BUGS

       automount2amd does not understand newer Sun Automount map syntax, those used by autofs.
