ypserv Error #-3 key lookup failure

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting clients to recognize all of the keys in my
automount map. I distribute a map auto.LinuxMaster which the linux clients
are configured to read as the master map. This map refers to two other
maps, auto.users (x-platform) and auto.LinuxDirect, linux specific NFS
mounts. auto.users works fine and auto.LinuxDirect worked fine from our
old Tru64 NIS server, which is about to die. I replaced the machine with a
RedHat 9.0 (same as all other linux boxes) and the auto.LinuxDirect map
seems to be having issues.

NISmaster::~/ {33}# ypcat -k auto.LinuxDirect
Tru64_local runt:/usr/local
Tru64Docs eve:/usr/share/doclib/online
linux_local sloppy:/usr/local
src odd:/src
hunchback hunchback:/Volumes/Data

NISmaster::~/ {34}# ypmatch -k linux_local auto.LinuxDirect
linux_local sloppy:/usr/local

NISmaster::~/ {35}# ypmatch -k src auto.LinuxDirect
Can't match key src in map auto.LinuxDirect. Reason: No such key in map

if I run ypserv -d I get the following output(s/ipaddy/NISmaster/g):

What is Error #-3, and why am I getting it? Everything worked so well in
Tru64. All of the other maps work fine, even other non-standard ones (like
the master map that refers to this one).
any ideas?
thanks

Problem solved. I rebuilt the maps and everything worked. Must have been a
cruupot db file.
