Seems some unusual options.  If I were doing the same thing, mine would
be something like:

192.168.10.10:/home       /home       nfs  auto,noexec,nodev,intr,udp
192.168.10.10:/usr/local  /usr/local  nfs  auto,nodev,intr,udp,ro

Although the "defaults" set "auto" and "rw", and other things, I like to
see what options I've set.  I have to read the man files to find out
what the defaults are.

The "exec" and "dev" options would be unusual for home space, if not
actually risky, I can't see why you'd want dev for /usr/local, either.  

And the "1 1" checking options don't seem sensible across a network, let
the machine with the drive do that.  Perhaps they're something to do
with the problems you're having (it not being able to fsck something on
a remote system).
