I just found out about the new behavior when creating snapshot control files. In 11.2.0.2 all nodes must be able to write to the snapshot control file. I have temporarily moved the location of this file to an ASM Cluster File system. I am getting a shared NFS mount for the long term location. I am not convinced that either of these alternatives is the best.
By the way - I found out that I could not change the RMAN setting when I was connected to the catalog. When I connected only to the target the RMAN "CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO " command worked correctly.
The new behavior is described in metalink bulletin 1268725.1.
