What version of fileutils are you using?
Please try the latest.  It's here:

  ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.0.tar.bz2
  (coreutils is the union of fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils)

Here's the current definition of ME_REMOTE:

#ifndef ME_REMOTE
/* A file system is `remote' if its Fs_name contains a `:'
   or if (it is of type smbfs and its Fs_name starts with `//').  */
# define ME_REMOTE(Fs_name, Fs_type)    \
    (strchr ((Fs_name), ':') != 0       \
     || ((Fs_name)[0] == '/'            \
         && (Fs_name)[1] == '/'         \
         && STREQ (Fs_type, "smbfs")))
#endif
