Howard,

RMAN is infamous for giving completely misleading error like error writing to a datafile while the root cause was error reading from tape or something like that.
Check whether there were any other errors earlier during duplicate.

Cheers,
Alex

Redhat Linux 10g

Ran a duplicate database for standby - which took 8 hours - it failed claiming one of the files at the end my 300g
database needed recovery - Doh!

Anyway ran the same script again. It said all files already restored and mounted the standby happily and
started applying archived logs from the other box  -

funny eh? glad I didn't delete all the files and start again!

So if at first you don't succeed try once more - made my Friday!
