Sounds like you're applying the archivelogs that include the drop statement in 
the recovery.  Make sure you set an "UNTIL TIME" on the recover to prior of the 
dropping of the table.  (I'm just guessing here)

This is probably a real newbie question..  I'm working on a new installation of 
RAC, and am testing an rman backup/restore. (I've done many rman 
backup/restores before on stand-alones.) I am puzzled why the process seems to 
go thru without error, but the data is not actually restored. Does anyone have 
a clue what I'm missing?
