This error means that autofs can not find LDAP server to map info. Make 
sure you have ldap hostname in place like:

/home    /home    ldap:ldapserver.domain.com:ou=auto.home,dc=domain,dc=com

Or

automountInformation: 
ldap:ldapserver.domain.com:ou=auto.home,dc=domain,dc=com


My problem was that it can't bind to ldap server for auto.home or other 
maps. Maybe I should try 2.0.x version.
