The message is a bit arbitrary, but checking a network file system from the remote is not intended IIRC, so disable the file system check option in fstab. Do the checks on the remote system.

Although the message is not as clear as it might be, it's still a big no-no to try to run fsck on *any* mounted filesystem, local or remote. Given that remote implies mounted, that's enough reason for the error.
Even if you were just doing a validity check, and no attempts at repairs, would remote access through NFS even be feasible to something like that filesystem check?
I would thought the NFS handler would act more as a barrier, than acting as a bridge to make it appear seamlessly like local device access.
