So as to avoid confusion you may wish to become more familiar with RMAN
terminology.
Unfortunately the documentation on this can be a little confusing at times.
auxiliary database:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14072_01/backup.112/e10642/glossary.htm#insertedID15
target database:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14072_01/backup.112/e10642/glossary.htm#CHDJFJHA
source database:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14072_01/backup.112/e10642/glossary.htm#CHDGDEBC
Your use of *target* however in the context of RMAN is incorrect.
Source and Target are the same thing, almost.
*Target *is referred to as the database you are connecting to with RMAN.
*Source *is used to refer to the target when it is bing duplicated to an
auxiliary database.
What *target* is not is the database being created - that is the
*auxiliary*database.
If I've mucked this up somehow, corrections are welcome.
