I made an error. I accedentally created the auto.foo map file with
executable permissions. If you do this the autofs init script will
interpret it as a "program" and attempt to execute it rather then parse
it as a regular map file. Simply doing chmod -x on it and restarting
autofs fixes the problem.

Needless to say the autofs documentation is in need of some work.
