Hi.
server: dieter-p4sci-arch
client: dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch

[dieter@dieter-p4sci-arch ~]$ pacman -Qs nfs
local/nfs-utils 1.2.0-3
    Support programs for Network File Systems
local/nfsidmap 0.21-2
    Library to help mapping IDs, mainly for NFSv4

dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch net pacman -Qs nfs
local/nfs-utils 1.2.0-3
    Support programs for Network File Systems

dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch net pacman -Qs autofs
local/autofs 5.0.4-4
    A kernel-based automounter for Linux.

/etc/exports on server:

[dieter@dieter-p4sci-arch ~]$ cat /etc/exports
# /etc/exports
#
# List of directories exported to NFS clients.  See exports(5).
# Use exportfs -arv to reread.
#
# Example for NFSv2 and NFSv3:
#  /srv/home       hostname1(rw,sync) hostname2(ro,sync)
#
# Example for NFSv4:
#  /srv/nfs4       hostname1(rw,sync,fsid=0)
#  /srv/nfs4/home   hostname1(rw,sync,nohide)
# Using Kerberos and integrity checking:
#  /srv/nfs4        gss/krb5i(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt)
#  /srv/nfs4/home   gss/krb5i(rw,sync,nohide)
#
# /etc/exports
#
# See exports(5) for a description.

# /home is not really used anywhere i think, but we need a root...
/home                           192.168.1.213(fsid=0,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,ro) 192.168.1.65(fsid=0,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,rw,nohide)
/home/dieter            192.168.1.213(sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,rw) ws(sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,rw)

Mounting manually works (both the nfs4 root export and a subdirectory):

dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch ~ mkdir server-nfs
dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch ~ sudo mount -t nfs4 server:/dieter server-nfs
dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch ~ sudo umount server-nfs/
dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch ~ sudo mount -t nfs4 server:/ server-nfs
dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch ~ sudo umount server-nfs/
dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch ~
# i checked that the directories show the correct content as well.

but not with autofs...
note the '/var/autofs/net -hosts' line. This is supposed to look for hosts (at least the ones in /etc/hosts) and mount their exports, bypassing auto.net which uses showmount.

dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch ~ cat /etc/autofs/auto.master

dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch net ls -alh server/

why can't I use /var/autofs/net/server?
There is nothing relevant in syslog or daemon.log

Have you tried adding a timeout:

/var/autofs/net     -hosts    --timeout=60

Is rpcbind installed and running?

ps -ef | grep rpcbind

thanks for the help.
/usr/bin/rpcbind is running on both the server and the client.
I tried the timeout option, but no change
