SUMMARY: Make hanging on adding new NIS map

I set up NIS on a Solaris 9 box using all the defaults. That appeared to run and start fine. I now wish to add another map database.
The name of the map is auto.rfnfs. I first ran makedbm auto.rfnfs.asc lss.emc.com/auto.rfnfs, edited the .asc file with vi, and put in the nfs shares I want to automount. I then reran the makedbm command on the map. That went ok. The /etc/auto.master has the map name in it as well, I believe it looks ok.
In the /var/yp/Makefile, I added it to the all line as follows:
all: passwd group hosts ipnodes ethers networks rpc services protocols \
        netgroup bootparams aliases publickey netid netmasks c2secure \
        timezone auto.master auto.home auto.rfnfs ageing \
        auth.attr exec.attr prof.attr user.attr audit.user
I also added the line auto.rfnfs: auto.rfnfs.time to the end of the file.
I also added the following in the middle, using auto.master.time as a template:
 
auto.rfnfs.time: $(DIR)/auto_rfnfs
        -@if [ -f $(DIR)/auto_rfnfs ]; then \
                sed -e "/^#/d" -e s/#.*$$// $(DIR)/auto_rfnfs \
                | $(MAKEDBM) - $(YPDBDIR)/$(DOM)/auto.rfnfs; \
                touch auto.rfnfs.time; \
                echo "updated auto.rfnfs"; \
                if [ ! $(NOPUSH) ]; then \
                        $(YPPUSH) auto.rfnfs; \
                        echo "pushed auto.rfnfs"; \
                else \
                : ; \
                fi \
        else \
                echo "couldn't find $(DIR)/auto_rfnfs"; \
        fi
 
When I run make from /var/yp, I get the following:
 
losbd066# make
updated netid
pushed netid
make: Warning: Don't know how to make target `/etc/auto_rfnfs'
Current working directory /var/yp
make: Warning: Target `all' not remade because of errors
Current working directory /var/yp
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `k'
 
If I copy /var/yp/auto.rfnfs.asc to /etc/auto_rfnfs and then rerun make, it then hangs after updated auto.rfnfs.
  
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
