I believe the archive logs have to be in the same path as they so
existed on the primary. As a work around you can create a soft link
in *IX however it seems to me that you are using Windows (you mention
drive letter).

Here is the language for the Oracle 10g Duplicate Database usage.

So long as RMAN is able to connect to the primary and auxiliary
instances, the RMAN client can run on any host. All backups and
archived redo logs used for creating and recovering the duplicate
database, however, must be accessible by the server session on the
duplicate host. If the duplicate host is not the same as the target
host, then you must make backups on disk on the target host available
to the duplicate host with the same full path name as in the primary
database.
