There wasn't any daemon running for that mount, so I started it by hand 
and the mount is now functional.

I'm really confused as to why there wasn't a daemon running in the first 
place.  There should've been, right?  I just checked a second system 
where this was an issue and it is the same, not automount running for 
/sync.  Starting it manually also gets the mount working.

There doesn't seem to be anything related to this map, save for the 
event when I ran a script that sends a HUP to the daemon responsible for 
this map and noticed this problem all together.

Is there a particular string you'd like for me to search against?
