yemi,

I think that Apple’s automount man page addresses this:

To make the “trigger” symbolic links used by automount distinguishable
from normal symbolic links, the sticky bit is set in the mode flags for
the link. Programs which would normally traverse symbolic links can test
for this bit and avoid triggering the mount. Various parts of the sys-
tem, including ls(1), have been modified in this way.
