I have an nfs at 192.168.1.10:/home/vm1/Desktop/nfs and will like to mount locally to /home/vm1/Desktop/nfs-mount using automounter...need help doing do

What i did

$cat /etc/auto.master

Code:

/home/vm1/Desktop    /etc/auto.nfs

$cat /etc/auto.nfs

Code:

nfs-bind     -fstype=nfs    192.168.1.34:/home/vm1/Desktop/nfs

And yes autofs is running and is reloaded

Code:

[root@vm1 ~]# service autofs status
automount (pid  3534) is running...
[root@vm1 ~]# service autofs reload
Reloading maps

Is that the correct way to do that? If yes then why is it that its not working...nothing got mounted..nothing
