Here is what I used to auto-mount my CDROM drive in /etc/amd.map:
/defaults type:=program
cdrom mount:="/sbin/mount mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a ${path}";unmount:="/sbin/umount umount /dev/cd0a"
2 points:
1) You can't do what you want. AMD works by having a special directory
which it monitors all activity in. It could be your home directory,
but I wouldn't recommend it! For various reasons, I used `/host'
(mainly that's what I use at work for doing NFS AMD operations)
2) I have no idea if it auto-unmounts properly :-(
To unmount, I do:
umount /host
kill {amd_pid}
Probably not the right way, but it works.

P.S. Sorry, I can't remember what I command line arguments I invoked
AMD with :-(
