use of automount breaks -fstype option on find

[Mario Wolczko]

Summary
	If you use automount to access remote file systems, then using
	the -fstype option on find causes find to abort prematurely
	with the error message
		Couldn't find mount point for xxx
	where xxx is the name of the directory used by automount.

Repeat-by
	Use automount to mount a file system.
	Then use find to scan all your local file systems:
		find / -fstype nfs -prune
	This will abort with the abovementioned error.

Work-around:
	If you need to scan all local filesystems, this loop will do
	the jobs nearly as well as the ( -fstype nfs -prune )
	combination: 
		for fs in / /usr /home ...all other local filesystems
		do
			find $fs -xdev ...other options
		done

Possible problems:
	The default crontab includes a find command with the -fstype
	option to remove .nfs files:
	find / -name .nfs\* -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \; -o -fstype nfs -prune
	This will stop working as soon as you start using automount.
	Replace it with a shell script containing a loop as above.
