Yes// The MSRRA exemption from NC taxes  for a civilian spouse, only applies to W-2 income when working for an employer in NC who issues a W-2 to her.  Self-employment income, is taxed.  She'll need to file a Non-resident NC tax return and include that business income as NC-Source income to be taxed by NC.
