Correct - this is done by default for performance reasons, but
you can enable it. Here's the excerpt from the 9.6 change notes:
When editing files that are on remote file servers (AFP, NFS,
SMB, etc), BBEdit will no longer look for directory-relative
tags files or settings files. This is a particular performance
win when the file is located on a volume mounted via MacFUSE/SSH
or similar, or if the file server is over a slow or high-latency
link.
To re-enable scanning for tags or settings files, use these
separately or together:
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
Misc:DisableCtagsScanOnRemoteVolumes -bool NO
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
Misc:DisableSettingsScanOnRemoteVolumes -bool NO
3. The EntabWidth, DetabWidth, and TidySpacesPerTab don't seem to have
any effect, but I don't really need these settings anyway.
Not all settings are loaded from directory-specific files.
Unfortunately there is no documentation of which ones are and
which ones aren't, so you'll need to try the ones you care about
-- but in general, settings which affect the display and editing
behaviors and are remembered with a document's state can be
changed with directory specific prefs, and most others cannot.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.
