What database version are you using? Is that your entire script? This may not be the problem, but in my rman scripts for cloning, I do not have an '=3D' when specifying the size of the redo logs. .e.g "SIZE 50M" not "SIZE =3D 50m". However, if this isn't the correct syntax, I would expect an error instead of just 'hanging'.
