rdiff-backup gets most of its advantage by running running a server process on the destination machine that keeps a lot of the disk access local. When you run rdiff-backup on a networked drive you lose this advantage because the client and server processes bot run on the local machine and all disk access is across the wire.
You might find Duplicity (http://duplicity.nongnu.org) is better suited to your arrangement. Duplicity also uses the rdiff algorithm but it keeps the metadata locally and creates local backup archives which are uploaded when completed.
