As I recall you have to use the %F option for controlfile autobackup
naming. I can't tell if you've done that, but the following works for me:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO
'${CFG_BKUP_DIR}/${CFG_CTL_FILE}.%F';
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
where ${CFG_BKUP_DIR} and ${CFG_CTL_FILE} have been set to an appropriate
directory and file name.
