In support of @Opus 17 's correct answer:

 

If you look at the California tax publication to which I previously gave you a link, you will find the following sentences on page 6, under Income Taxable by California:

 

"Nonresidents of California are taxed only on income
from California sources."

 

"Wages and salaries have a source where the services
are performed. Neither the location of the employer,
where the payment is issued, nor your location when
you receive payment affect the source of this income."

 

I would add that Georgia taxes nonresidents on the same basis as California.  Any income from work you physically perform in Georgia is by definition Georgia-sourced, and thus taxable by the state of Georgia.
