Given your previous questions I will ask: Where? In which server?
Are you sure you have the privilege to read/write in this directory.

Post "id;groups;ls -ld /ora0/rman/backup/hawk/"

Michel

Never use root to execute Oracle tasks.
Use oracle or a member of dba group.

Have you verified the privileges for the mount point and the directory itself on the remote node?

I have a couple of guesses.
1) The disk filled up
2) The disk had media failure
