Figured it out. And typo (mine). I defined $server:
server="${key%/*}"
changed the definition of $credfile:
credfile="/etc/auto.cifs.$server"
and changed the awk invocation so its variable "key" points at $server:
... | awk -v key="$server" ...
But the main holdup was several shares that are no longer valid (in my
defense, they used to work); in particular dvd[12] and print, so I removed
them. I guess if I need to use a DVD or print remotely, I'll have to figure
out how it works now. Once they were removed, autofs worked. Maybe the
error threw it into a tizzy.
