Mounts under /net are derived from the filesystems actually shared from the servers; the automount daemon uses the MOUNT protocol to determine this. If you're looking at a path not already seen, the information will be fresh, but that's where the good news ends. We don't refresh this information reliably, so if you add a new share in a directory we've already scanned, you won't see it until the mounts time out and are removed. We should refresh this data more readily and no matter what the source of data.
