(i.e, possibly in the passwd file). You haven't shown the configuration for the user, but chances are you've set it to /export/home either in LDAP or in something that's overriding it. Just specifying an automount named "jmancuso" is *not* the same thing as setting jmancuso's home directory. It's normal for that directory to disappear when not in use, though that depends how you have autofs configured. Most automounters will unmount a filesystem after a certain period of inactivity.
