I don't think your issue has much to do with Oracle. Your issue has everything to do with authority.
Why would a non sys-admin need to fiddle around with scheduled tasks and parse the event log?
Why would one need to have access to the Oracle database files? Apparently you don't use any tool Oracle provides to administer the database, but instead your sysadmin assumes you have seized control of the system (which is partly correct) and he doesn't like that. I must say I agree: either each of you have their own responsibility, or you take over all of the system, and you can turn it into whatever mess you prefer.
