@st graveyard: I am afraid I lost track of your current configuration. In the first attempt I guess the error is that you created a new offline scraper that is called "Genesis". But during import you used the built-in scraper "local nfo". So this will try to find the nfo files in your rom directory.
Not sure what happened in the second run where it could not find the scraper file. Maybe it was just a temporary misconfiguration?
In the third attempt you used the built-in "local nfo" scraper again. Not sure if the files in your rom folder are still available?
I tested it here and in general it should work what you try. What I did:
1. Copied my nfo files somewhere on HD
2. Copied the "00 - local nfo.xml" file next to the nfo files
3. Created a new Rom Collection set to offline scraping scenario
4. When configuring the scraper I selected the option "One description file per game"
5. Browsed to the new directory with the nfo files
6. Used %GAME%.nfo as file mask
7. Browsed to the parser file "00 - local nfo.xml"
This will create a new offline scraper that has the same name as your Rom Collection (e.g. "Genesis"). When importing games you should use this scraper instead of "local nfo".
Note: While I tried to reproduce your issue I ran into another bug: I already had some online scraping scenario Rom Collections in my setup and tried to add a new offline scraper from scratch. That did not work. I had to create a new Rom Collection with scenario set to offline scraping. I will fix this bug but I guess it has nothing to do with your issue.
If you still have problems to set this up please do the following: Upload your config.xml, an example nfo file and the complete log after you tried to import your games. This will help me to understand your issue in detail.
