I think you want to remove "fs:=/projects/${key};" from here (its default
value should be sufficent).  That should make fs2:/export/projects/foo
available as /projects/foo etc.

Note that amd mounts the filesystem in a hidden directory (named by the fs
option) and makes a symlink to it from the directory named in amd.conf.  You
shouldn't set fs to the directory named in amd.conf.
