I'm working on little sleep, so hopefully I'm understanding the question 
correctly, (that I remember my first name today is questionable... :))
If you are performing a standard clone, both the target and clone are using the 
same backup directory, but the archive logs are located in different locations, 
the location of the archive log listed in the log_archive_dest_1 for each 
database should be all you need to have the logs "shipped" during the duplicate 
from the target to the clone.
 
Unless logs have been moved from the dest directories, I've never had an issue 
during the clone to locate the logs.  Now I have had failures due to network 
issues where logs haven't come over in the last step of the process.
Hope this helps,

I’m running a duplicate command to clone a database over to a dev server and 
the disk drive letters are different on the secondary server for the 
archivelogs.  My backup disk location is the same on both servers.
 
Is there a way when doing a duplicate to tell RMAN to look in an alternate 
location than where the primary sends its archivelogs?  
 
I’m receiving the RMAN-06025: no backup of log thread 1 seq 93814 lowscn 
8775725044 found to restore error since the archivelog paths are different.
 
To get around this, I’ve backed up the archivelogs on the primary and copied 
those backups and I believe the restore will work from that point but it seems 
like there should be an easy way to have alternate file locations when doing a 
duplicate.
 
Thanks,
