Thanks all for your help. Things got ugly over the last 24 hours so we got
some external assistance and things look like they are on track. Sorry I
didn't respond to yor questions.
Turns out we made a mess of the recover, (due to our own ignorance) and had
to go back to tape. We are doing so with the support of a more experienced
DBA.
So again, thanks for your interest. Your responses were helpful as we
realised how little we understood RMAN.
I'll go back to lurking and learning for a while
