Well, thats just it, I don't think its actually restoring the
controlfile autobackup. I don't specifically tell RMAN to restore it,
which I think is part of the problem.
Joe mentioned the backups might be expired (which I think they are since
I had to restore them from tape).
I seem to remember running into this before, but I cannot remember how
to restore the controlfile autobackup when using a catalog/repository
during a duplicate.

Chris,
What does the log look like when you run the duplicate? In particular,
which controlfile autobackup is getting restored during your duplicate?
Make sure that the April 30th controlfile is being restored.

I have the RMAN full backups from April 30th 8:16PM and May 1st
8:30 PM.
I am using an RMAN catalog.
Here's my RMAN script:
run
{
allocate channel d1 type disk;
allocate channel d2 type disk;
allocate channel d3 type disk;
allocate channel d4 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel a1 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel a2 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel a3 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel a4 type disk;
set until time="to_date('05/01/2009 07:40:00','MM/DD/YYYY
HH24:MI:SS')";
duplicate target database to f9tst
logfile
GROUP 1
(
'G:\oracle\oradata\F9TST\onlinelog\redo01a.log',
'F:\oracle\oradata\F9TST\onlinelog\redo01b.log'
) size 25M,
GROUP 2
(
'G:\oracle\oradata\F9TST\onlinelog\redo02a.log',
'F:\oracle\oradata\F9TST\onlinelog\redo02b.log'
) size 25M;
}
Now RMAN is complaining that it cannot find backups which I
believe are more current than the ones I have. (Meaning they were taken
from May 2-10th...It seems that RMAN rolls back to previous backups
starting with the current one and maybe only tries 3 days worth
perhaps?)
I have the controlfile autobackups from 4/30 and 5/1 as well.
I need some suggestions here as I seem to be missing something.
