[TriLUG] autofs directory within a directory

I've got what should be a very simple problem that I'm just not able to
fix.  I'm using autofs to mount a folder to the root file directory.
Instead what I'm getting is that folder inside of the same folder on
the root directory.  So instead of having /<folder1>/content I
get /<folder1>/<folder1>/content.  The /<folder1> is a regular 
directory, meaning I did a mkdir which it is to my understanding is the
proper way.
Pertinent file info below, sanitized for your pleasure.
/etc/auto.master
/<folder1> /etc/auto.<folder1> --timeout=600 -g
/etc/auto.<folder1>
<folder1>                 <host>.local:/export2/<folder1>

Thanks for you help,
Matt
