Yup.

Your auto.master map looks buggered; have you checked for log messages?
You might get more happiness from "/usr/etc/automount /- auto.cae" with
your current maps.  For growth, I'd recommend something more like this:

auto.master:
/-		auto.cae	(default options here, if any)
(other direct & indirect maps)

auto.cae:
/storage	-ro,intr	cadnext2:/storage
(other mounts)

with a command line of:

/usr/etc/automount auto.master
