How do I call fai-mirror so it doesn't mix the dists?

I'm not quite sure why you need to have them separated at all, but you probably
have some good reason to do so. Anyway, probably you use lenny and main or
non-free yourself in the Release file of your "handmade" archive. Changing this
should probably do the trick.
