I'm using the repository and I would think they probably are expired.
(I had to restore the backups from tape)

repository or control file for backup metadata? 

if repository, you've done the crosscheck backup and verify they are not
expired? 

just some rambling thoughts.

I have a need to create a test db clone from May 1st 2009 at 7:30 AM. 
  
I have the RMAN full backups from April 30th 8:16PM and May 1st 8:30 PM.

  
I am using an RMAN catalog. 
  
Here's my RMAN script: 
  
run
{
allocate channel d1 type disk;
allocate channel d2 type disk;
allocate channel d3 type disk;
allocate channel d4 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel a1 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel a2 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel a3 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel a4 type disk;
set until time="to_date('05/01/2009 07:40:00','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";

  
duplicate target database to f9tst
logfile
GROUP 1
(
'G:\oracle\oradata\F9TST\onlinelog\redo01a.log',
'F:\oracle\oradata\F9TST\onlinelog\redo01b.log'
) size 25M,
GROUP 2
(
'G:\oracle\oradata\F9TST\onlinelog\redo02a.log',
'F:\oracle\oradata\F9TST\onlinelog\redo02b.log'
) size 25M;
} 
  
Now RMAN is complaining that it cannot find backups which I believe are
more current than the ones I have. (Meaning they were taken from May
2-10th...It seems that RMAN rolls back to previous backups starting with
the current one and maybe only tries 3 days worth perhaps?) 
  
I have the controlfile autobackups from 4/30 and 5/1 as well. 
  
I need some suggestions here as I seem to be missing something.
