RE: RMAN strange behavior - cannot figure it out - missing datafile in backup but it says it is in the backup

Additionally, I CLONED this starter database to a production instance after 
some development - the issue is in the CLONED copy - not the original (hence 
the problem).

Geez, what a mess...

        RMAN Cannot Backup Foreign (transportable tablespace, plugged-in) 
Datafiles [ID 357383.1]

So, for me the following took place to fix it:
(note this db was created using the 11g provided starter database with example 
schemas - so apparently the EXAMPLE tablespace gets created as a PLUGGED_IN 
tablespace)



1.) Switch EXAMPLE tablespace to READ ONLY;
2.) Switch logfile
3.) Switch EXAMPLE tablespace to READ WRITE;
4.) Switch logfile

5.) Attempt to backup database again - HOWEVER RMAN now *FAILS* due to
RMAN-03009: failure of resync command on default channel at 08/08/2012 10:09:42
RMAN-20052: invalid datafile create SCN

6.) So, UNREGISTER database
7.) Reregister database
8.) Sync database
9.) backup database
10.) Verify that yes, now all datafiles are being backed up correctly and file 
IDs now match everywhere
