cant get automount to work [solved]

[dirtbag]

Linux zim 2.6.24-gentoo-r8 #13 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jul 8 13:25:04 EDT 2008 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux on a thinkpad T61

following the instructions at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Auto_mount_filesystems_(AUTOFS)
and when I cd into the automounted dir (as a regular user) where my usb drive is, I get
automount[27708]: segfault at 00000000 eip b7f5ec8c esp bffec6e0 error 4
automount[28819]: segfault at 00000000 eip b7f5ec8c esp bffec6e0 error 4
automount[29365]: segfault at 00000000 eip b7f5ec8c esp bffec6e0 error 4
automount[29664]: segfault at 00000000 eip b7f5ec8c esp bffec6e0 error 4

if I try to cd into that dir as root, I get

Oct 7 11:26:41 zim automount[6509]: >> mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
Oct 7 11:26:41 zim automount[6511]: >> mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
Oct 7 11:26:41 zim automount[6513]: >> mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist

I can manually mount this usb drive just fine as /dev/sdb1

like I said, it works fine when I mount it manually
zim auto # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb/
zim auto # mount | grep usb
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,devmode=0664,devgid=85)
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/usb type vfat (rw)
zim auto # ls -al /dev/sdb1
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 17 Oct 7 11:51 /dev/sdb1
zim auto # umount /mnt/usb/
zim auto #

-db
