For better or worse, an NFS-mounted file system is considered "local" and so participates in the ALL-LOCAL: specifying that file system in addition to ALL-LOCAL is redundant. You'll have to invoke the backup with file systems specified as you want, either via Domain or on the command line. (Note that you can exclude a file system as: Domain ALL-LOCAL -/NotThisFS in 5.2 .)
