NFS issue with autofs in CentOS 6.3

I am running CentOS 6.3 as a VM on a host which has the same installation. I configured my NFS server and I am guessing it works. I say guessing because I can mount the desired folder with mount command on my client machine. So, when I run:
Code:
mount -t nfs -o vers=3 vm2.domain.com:/nethome /neth

it mounts the folder at "/neth";however autofs doesn't do the same and I don't even get any error!
my auto.master:
Code:
/neth    /etc/auto.neth    --timeout=60

my auto.neth:
Code:
* -fstype=nfs,rw,soft,nosuid,nfsvers=3    vm2.domain.com:/nethome/&

I should mention that I have local DNS installed and it work with no problem.
any suggestions?

SHOWMOUNT(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      SHOWMOUNT(8)

NAME
showmount -- show remote nfs mounts on host SYNOPSIS
showmount [-a | -d] [-e] [-1] [-3] [host] DESCRIPTION
The showmount utility shows status information about the NFS server on host. By default it prints the names of all hosts that have NFS file systems mounted on the host. See NFS: Network File System Protocol Specification, RFC 1094, Appendix A, and NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol Specification, Appendix I, for a detailed description of the protocol. The following options are available: -a List all mount points in the form: host:dirpath. -d List directory paths of mount points instead of hosts. -e Show the host's exports list. -1 Use mount protocol Version 1, compatible with legacy servers. -3 Ignored for backwards compatibility. SEE ALSO
mount(8), mount_nfs(8), mountd(8) HISTORY
The showmount utility first appeared in 4.4BSD. BUGS
The mount daemon running on the server only has an idea of the actual mounts, since the NFS server is stateless. The showmount utility will only display the information as accurately as the mount daemon reports it. BSD
