That's odd. The autofs manpage on my systems says:

     environment=name=value[,name=value]...
             Specifies a comma separated list of environment variables. If
an
             environment variable has more than one value, those values
should
             be separated with a comma, preceded by a backslash as an escape
             character ("\,").  For example:

                   VAR1=val1,VAR2=val2\,val3

So I think you just want commas.
