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.

AUTOFS(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 AUTOFS(8)

NAME
/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs - Control Script for automounter SYNOPSIS
/etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs start|stop|restart|reload|status DESCRIPTION
autofs controls the operation of the automount(8) daemons running on the Linux system. Usually autofs is invoked at system boot time with the start parameter and at shutdown time with the stop parameter. The autofs script can also be manually invoked by the system administra- tor to shut down, restart or reload the automounters. OPERATION
autofs will consult a configuration file /etc/auto.master (see auto.master(5)) by default to find mount points on the system. For each of those mount points automount(8) will mount and start a thread, with the appropriate parameters, to manage the mount point. /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs reload will check the current auto.master map against running daemons. It will kill those daemons whose entries have changed and then start daemons for new or changed entries. If a map is modified then the change will become effective immediately. If the auto.master map is modified then the autofs script must be rerun to activate the changes. /etc/rc.d/init.d/autofs status will display the status of, automount(8) ,running or not. SEE ALSO
