I'm having funny behaviour with SunSolaris clients (3.1.07) too. It does
backup all the automounted FS, but not NFS mounted. What I think it is
doing is:

1) it checks if the dir (the mount point) is local, and Yes it is
   because nothing is mounted at the moment yet!
2) it decides to back it up, without realizing the the automount did its
   job and mounted the FS.
3) It procede to backup all it finds ... which means all the remote FS.

Note that, if the autofs is mounted it skips it!

Sorry but I have no solutions, but at least you know you are not alone
inthis mess ... I have about 230 SunSolaris which I cannot backup,
because of this!

Ciao
