No, you can't. A path more correspond to multiple mounts stacked on top of
each other, e.g.:

mount -t tmpfs none /mnt
mount -t tmpfs none /mnt
mount -t tmpfs none /mnt

Now you have three co-located mounts and you can't use the path to
differentiate them. I think this might be an issue in autofs, but Ian would
need to comment on that.
