Gary,

 This is the procedure that I use to setup a duplicate/clone/auxiliary database, as 
outlined on pg. 7-18 of the 8.1.6 Rel.2 RMAN User's Guide and Reference.  This creates 
a duplicate database with a unique dbid.  Rman knows that it should recover to the 
clone because I issue a duplicate command in my script.  The command parameters are 
confusing ('target' would more aptly be named 'source' and 'auxiliary' is the real 
'target' when cloning).  
  Looking back over your email, I see that you are on 8.0.6, so there may be some 
differences.  I better let the advice to those that are more experienced with that 
version.

  Here is a sample script that I use:

run {
set until scn 1016905055;
allocate auxiliary channel ch1 type disk;
allocate auxiliary channel ch2 type disk;
set newname for datafile 1 to '/t202/oradata/INTT/system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile 2 to '/t202/oradata/INTT/tools01.dbf';
...yadda yadda...
set newname for datafile 11 to '/t204/oradata/INTT/tape_data01.dbf';
duplicate target database to INTT
logfile
group 1 ('/t202/oradata/INTT/redo1a.log','/t203/oradata/INTT/redo1b.log') size 1m,
...yadda yadda...
group 4 ('/t202/oradata/INTT/redo4a.log','/t203/oradata/INTT/redo4b.log') size 1m;
}

Jay,
  I'm confused. Based on what you said I would want to connect my target to 
my production db and my catalog to my dbcat/tapeserver. If I understand your 
suggestion correctly, how would RMAN know to recover to the new clone 
database?
