Maybe this is what you're looking for (from 
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmdupdb.htm#i1008888):


"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.

When using disk backups, you can accomplish this goal in any of the following 
ways:

*Manually transfer the backups from the primary host to the remote host to an 
identical path. For example, if the backups are in /dsk1/bkp on the target 
host, then transfer them to /dsk1/bkp on the duplicate host.

*Manually transfer the backups from the primary host to the duplicate host at a 
new location. For example, if the backups are in /dsk1/bkp on the target host, 
then you might transfer them to /dsk2/dup on the duplicate host. The new 
path-in this example, /dsk2/dup-must be accessible from both the target and 
duplicate hosts. Run the CATALOG command to add these copies to the RMAN 
repository at the duplicate host.

*Use NFS or shared disks and make sure that the same path is accessible in the 
remote host. For example, the NFS mount point for both hosts could be 
/home/file_server."
