dbms_backup_restore help needed

anyone ever restore a backup directly with dbms_backup_restore?
I'm running 8.1.7 on winders(not my choice). The rman backup is true Omniback 
and is controlfile based, there is no catalog. Normally, I can't even spell 
RMAN, it always bites me when I touch it. The backup that I'm trying to restore 
was successful.

The db was backed up in one run block with a single backup statement. going 
from memory, it looks something like
run 
{
backup 
database including controlfile
archivelog all delete input;
}
(that's from memory, so you get the  gist of it)

Here  is the code that I used to get the control file back.
declare
devtype varchar2(256);
done boolean;
begin
devtype:=dbms_backup_restore.deviceallocate( type=>'sbt_tape', 
params=>'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=rdcs,OB2BARLIST=ORA_RDCS_WEEKLY)', 
ident=>'t1');
dbms_backup_restore.restoresetdatafile;
dbms_backup_restore.restorecontrolfileto('D:\oracle\ora81\dbs\CTL1rdcs.ORA');
dbms_backup_restore.restorebackuppiece( 
'ORA_RDCS_WEEKLY<rdcs_6222:596513521:1>.dbf', DONE=>done );
dbms_backup_restore.restoresetdatafile;
dbms_backup_restore.restorecontrolfileto('D:\DBS\RDCS\CTL2RDCS.ORA');
dbms_backup_restore.restorebackuppiece( 
'ORA_RDCS_WEEKLY<rdcs_6222:596513521:1>.dbf', DONE=>done );
dbms_backup_restore.devicedeallocate('t1');
end;
/

I'd like to use similar code to get the entire db back. I seem to be missing 
something so far. 

Direct responses back to me would be great! thx
