Just a guess but did you have a log file name convert statement in the aux instance spfile? Joe Sent from the crackberry, so please excuse the typos and terseness.

The error message is the following. Error seems to be a permission issue but actually it shouldn't because RMAN finished restoring and recovering the datafiles successfully, it fails only when it tries to re-create the online logs. Has anybody seen this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Oracle 10.2.0.3 on Linux x-64, Cloning from a 2-node RAC db to a 5-node RAC db.
