Enviroment: Oracle 8.1.7.4 / AIX 5.2

Scenario:

- I have an rman backup (nocatalog) and a separate control file backup
done at 11:00 pm.  

- The database is in archivelog mode.

- At 11:00 am the next morning I have a failure which causes 
loss of the entire database.

- Archivelogs through 10:45 are intact.  The last archive log is sequence 1234.

- I have the backup files created from the 11:00 pm rman backup in the directory
to which they were backed up.

- I want to restore the database to the state it was in at 10:45 am by applying
the redo logs through number 1234.

I restore my control files by copying them to the appropriate directories on
the disk (e.g. /ora1/oradata/sid/control01.ctl ...  /ora2/...  /ora3/...).

I run the following commands in rman

run {
set until logseq=1234 thread=1;
allocate channel ch1 type disk;
allocate channel ch2 type disk;
allocate channel ch3 type disk;
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
}

Oracle says:

RMAN-03002: failure during compilation of command
RMAN-03013: command type: set
RMAN-06003: ORACLE error from target database: RMAN-20206: log sequence not 
found in the recovery catalog

What am I missing here?

Thanks,
Peter Schauss
