First please remove the --timeout=60; it's not a mount option nor a map option (it's a command line argument for the Linux automount process).
I am not sure if the option fstype=nfs is allowed, perhaps you should remove that, too.
Then restart automounter and check the mount point with
Code:
df /neth

it should say something with automount (autofs v4) or - (autofs v5).
The automounted directories will appear inside the /neth,
not browsable, unless you have a -browse map option in auto.master:
Code:
/neth    /etc/auto.neth  -browse

The previous post wrongly suggested a direct map with /abolute mount points, but your map is an indirect map.

automount [-v] [-c] [-u] [-t timeout] DESCRIPTION

-v Print more detailed information about actions taken by automount. -c Tell automountd(8) to flush any cached information it has. -u Unmount all non-busy automounted mounts. Top-level triggers are preserved. -t timeout Set to timeout seconds the time after which an automounted file system will be unmounted if it hasn't been referred to within that period of time. The default is 10 minutes (600 seconds). FILES
/etc/autofs.conf configuration file for automount and automountd. /etc/auto_master The master map contains a list of directories to be controlled by autofs and their associated direct map or indirect maps. SEE ALSO
