You can't use the path /home because the autofs uses it to mount the home directories. cd /home df . Your entry for test1 is trying to mount /home/test1 on /home/test1 which won't work. The local user can not use the path /home as long as autofs is using /home. -- Enjoy global warming while it lasts.
