samba - Jan 2011 - %N 3.0.28 on centos/rhel 4.7 (wanting to split up the profile shares to multiple servers)

I am having a hard time finding documentation on the %N construct.

I have /etc/auto.master loading /etc/auto.smb and in /etc/auto.smb it reads
username	-fstype-smb,username=accountant	://otherhost/username

In the log file I get:

'/home/username' does not exist or ... Error was No such file or
directory


I am trying to move certain users' profiles to another server for load
distribution. I am I going about this wrong or where do I get more information
on making %N work for me.

What version of Samba do you use?

What passdb (such as smbpasswd, tdbsam, ldapsam, ...) do you use?

Indeed %N is effective only in "old" passdb such as smbpasswd or
ldapsam_compat.
