The subject says you're adding a new entry to the master map.  This
sentence sounds like you're adding an entry to an existing map.  The
second should be caught automatically by the daemon, so no need to
reload.

You could do, 'service autofs reload' instead.  Or maybe you should
investigate direct maps.  I'm not sure, since I know very little of your
setup.
