/home on nfs

I'm trying to use server:/storage as my /home using nfs/autofs. The problem I'm having is when I log in, server:/storage is allocated as my user directory rather than the location of my user directory.

I've tried several different auto.* files. This is what I have currently.

auto.master:

Code:
/home   /etc/auto.home

auto.home
Code:
* -fstype=nfs,rw,user server:/storage
Thanks for any help.

I vaguely remember that you have to use the syntax ://server/share in an autofs config file.

Typo entering the question. Syntax is correct in the actual file. But thanks for the response.

Edit: placing a & server://storage/& fixed things.
