emacs causing automount error

[Patrick]

Hello,

I am using emacs on several machines, and now my system administrator told me 
that on one machine his log files are filled up with this

Feb 10 14:38:46 xx automount[3394]: key ".bzr" not found in map source(s).
Feb 10 14:38:46 xx automount[3394]: key ".git" not found in map source(s).
Feb 10 14:38:46 xx automount[3394]: key ".hg" not found in map source(s).
Feb 10 14:38:46 xx automount[3394]: key "_MTN" not found in map source(s).
Feb 10 14:38:46 xx automount[3394]: key "{arch}" not found in map source(s).

Comparing the timestamps, this happens everytime I start emacs. Is anyone 
familiar with this problem or can point me to where I can stop emacs from 
trying to access all these inexisting keys on startup?

Thanks,
Patrick
