Perhaps you are concerned that Amanda treats the local system the same
as the others and that the traffic may be going down the network stack
and getting looped backed up? 

Why are you worried about this? More and more unix software is built
this way (X windows for one), so why should we be worried that Amanda
works this way also?

Am I missing something?  Can't you just remove the remote filesystems
from disklist in your amanda configuration so that it doesn't back them
up?
