The mount work fine actually. I only noticed the error because I have
a script that is consuming the standard output from "automount -m"
command.  I thought instead of filtering away the error, it would be
more prudent to fix the root issue.

I agree though the message is confusing and we’ll be (most probably) looking at some autofs enhancements in the next sssd version..

Now that I have shared some context, is there any way I can track down
whats might be causing it? Or better, whats are some of the candidate
mistakes that can trigger it.
