The first difference I see, you try to automount the share using your user account, but when you do it manually you mount the share using the root account.

Second, you didn't show automount configuration (or did I miss something?). But what I see and what is strange for me is "automounter on top of automounter" configuration. You have /vhe directory, which is defined in automounter. And you have at the same the directory /vhe/p02s/home which also seems to be defined in automounter. You receive several layers of mounts. When automounter starts it reserves the directory /vhe/p02s/home for the future mount, but when you go into /vhe it mounts the filesystem from the NFS server into /vhe and with this action it over-mounts the directory /vhe/p02s/home. That's why when you go into /vhe/p02s/home as user nothing happens - these are 2 different directories.

I think, you don't need such complex configuration. You can export just /home from you server. All other sub-directories are exported automagically with it and because you use NFS v3 you can mount sub-directories if you want to do it.

cachefsd(1M)						  System Administration Commands					      cachefsd(1M)

NAME
cachefsd - CacheFS daemon SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/fs/cachefs/cachefsd DESCRIPTION
The cachefsd server implements features of the cache filesystem (CacheFS). It is invoked at boot time and run if the / (root) and /usr filesystems are being cached. If /usr is being cached, cachefsd is invoked by inetd(1M) from inetd.conf(4). At run time, cachefsd is invoked by the inetd mechanism in response to an RPC request from a user command such as mount_cachefs(1M). The cachefsd server supports the "disconnected mode" of CacheFS. In this mode, a user can continue to read and, depending on the option selected, write to files in a cached filesystem when the NFS server for the cached files is not available. The cachefsd daemon performs the following functions in support of the CacheFS: o Implements the connection policy. The daemon determines whether the NFS server backing the cache is connected or disconnected from the cache, or is in transition from the connected or disconnected states. o Implements "log rolling," wherein the daemon monitors a disconnected NFS server for reconnection. After such a server returns to a connected state, cachefsd rolls any local changes to cached files (kept in a log) back to the server. o Manages "packing," wherein cachefsd makes a best effort to ensure that files in a user-specified list are available in the cache in disconnected mode. o Supports user interfaces by supplying statistics, reporting conflicts between the cache and the back filesystem, and supporting a list of files for packing. The running of cachefsd is required for the disconnected mode of CacheFS. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -r Used for invoking cachefsd for the / filesystem. ATTRIBUTES
