check_disk exclusions

Hi all,
 
I'm having trouble configuring the check_disk tool on nagios 1.2.
 
The systems being monitored all have the same automounts for our network storage device, however this has a tendency to fill up above the warning levels.  It then bombards me with mails from all the clients with that mount with disk warnings.
 
I don't want to change the warning threshold and have searched the archives to try and find a way of excluding the mounts, I have tried the following:
 
- ./check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -x /mount_folder
- ./check_disk -w 20 -c 10 -x lofs -x nfs (found in the archives!)
 
I also tried it the other way round including the paths to the local disks, however due to differing machine types the /dev paths are different and I don't want to have to write a command for each kind of system.
 
Can anyone shed some light on how to exclude nfs mounts from the check_disk plugin please, I would be eternally grateful!!
 
Thanks in advance
 
Chris Jackson
