NFS Mounting Problems

We are running AUX 2.0 (scheduled to upgrade to 2.01 soon) on a Mac II
with 8 megs ram and a 140 meg hard disk. One set of directories is
mounted from a Sun workstation. When I issue a mount command manually,
everything works fine. We put the mount information into the
/etc/fstab file and the /etc/sysinitrc file, but the directories don't
mount automatically. When I try a mount -a command, nothing happens. I
checked and re-checked manuals - it seems that the commands are correctly
entered !?!
Excuse my fragmented "unix talk", but I have also asked some unix people
here about the problem, and they find it strange that the mount -a command
is not doing anything. We also tried to issue another mount command and
got the message that the directory name was not
in the fstab file. But it was there.
Any ideas? I am thinking that AUX is looking in the 'wrong' place, that
there is a phantom fstab file somewhere, but I cannot find anything of the
kind.
Thanks in advance; e-mail to jaya at ra.src.umd.edu.
