Not by a parameter or something like that afaik. You could check with ps if there is a cd command for that user and script, get it's PID and kill it, after a timer of 10 seconds or whatever is ok for you. You could make that part of your script in the background.
But even if I get on your nerves, you might want to fix that NFS problem.
Isn't it a appropriate way in your using ssh/scp/rsync to get your backup?

We had similar problems which we could not solve even with support - that's one of the reasons I really don't like NFS, tbh.

SSH-ARGV0(1)                                                BSD General Commands Manual                                               SSH-ARGV0(1)

NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling SYNOPSIS
hostname | user@hostname [-l login_name] [command] hostname | user@hostname [-afgknqstvxACNTX1246] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-e escape_char] [-i identity_file] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command] DESCRIPTION
ssh-argv0 replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling. If you link to this script with a hostname then executing the link is equivalent to having executed ssh with that hostname as an argument. All other arguments are passed to ssh and will be processed normally. OPTIONS
