Scott,

I haven't followed this entire thread so I apologize if this has been covered 
but how did you build the standby copy?  Did you do a duplicate or what?

If you did a duplicate you need to make sure it did a SET NEWNAME for the 
datafiles (as it sounds like that step did not happen).  Also on a duplicate 
you can run the duplicate where the duplicate is automatically configured as a 
standby.

Also, if I'm not mistaken you could mount your instance and rename the 
datafiles as necessary to get it to open as a standby?

(Of course if this is Active Dataguard we're talking about, then maybe none of 
this applies as I haven't set one of those up yet).

Chris

It's still trying to open the primary data files.  Here are the 
initLNX8TEST.ora entries:
log_file_name_convert='/oracle/data/LNX8TEST/','/oracle/data/LNX9TEST/','/oracle/data/LNX8TEST/mirror_files/','/oracle/data/LNX9TEST/mirror_files/'
db_file_name_convert='/oracle/data/LNX8TEST/','/oracle/data/LNX9TEST/'

Here are the initLNX9TEST.ora entries:

log_file_name_convert='/oracle/data/LNX9TEST/','/oracle/data/LNX8TEST/','/oracle/data/LNX9TEST/mirror_files/','/oracle/data/LNX8TEST/mirror_files/'
db_file_name_convert='/oracle/data/LNX9TEST/','/oracle/data/LNX8TEST/'

The timestamps for all of the files, except the control files, is not changing 
in LNX9TEST.
