Why does the automounter daemon have to do the mounting of submounts? What's wrong with having the kernel do it? The one problem with having the kernel do it that I can see, is that the kernel doesn't update /etc/mtab. Note that rather than manually mounting the submounts, you could just open and close those directories as that should cause them to automount - though the xdev mountpoints will expire and become automatically unmounted after a certain period.
