HELP! CAN't STARTUP REMOTE DATABASE USING SQL*PLUS - BUG?-NADA on METASTINK

Guys

Trying to automate rman cold backups using sql*plus versus svrmgrl. RMAN is local and target databases are remote.
Executing the following (just from a script seems to work just fine interactively):

         $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus /nolog <<-EOD
         connect system/password;
         @tst2.sql;
         shutdown abort
         @tst2.sql;

         startup pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init$DBNAME.ora;
         spool $STATUSFILE
         select status from v\$instance where status = 'MOUNTED';
         spool off
         EOD

SQL> Connected.
SQL> Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
SQL> not spooling currently
SQL>      select status from v$instance where status = 'MOUNTED'
