If you want dirvish to stay on the filesystem of the starting point (so
if you're backing up "/" then only the root filesystem, and not any
separate /home, /data etc. filesystems that may be mounted) then add the
line:

xdev: 1

The name is borrowed from the find command option for the same purpose.

Pointing out the obvious: salmo-home and salmo are different things.
You probably don't have a "salmo" vault, so that's why the config can't
be read.
