The whole point of using transactions is to ensure data integrity. Writing across a network is a pretty sure-fire way of inviting integrity problems.
The only way to guarantee that you don't have problems is to ban mixing the two. If you investigate the NFS protocol (which I guess your remote system is using?) you will find that it explicitly guarantees that the integrity of the link CANNOT be trusted. Now I think you see why transactions forbid its use ...
