That's not always true. A few years ago BATF notified a number of states that the permits they issued did not qualify for bypassing the NCIS check.

You are confusing two issues.
If you can't pass a background check you won't be issued a carry license/permit. The background check for those is essentially the same as the NICS to buy a firearm.
And the fact that some states' CCWs don't qualify for BYpassing the NICS doesn't mean that you would not pass a NICS if your name is called in. It only means that for whatever reason the BATFE has a burr under their saddle about that state's permit process. So ... is getting a carry permit a 100 percent guarantee that you'll pass a NICS? No -- but it's a pretty good start at finding out.
