If I'm not mistaken, you are trying to restore (not recover) the db from a hot backup as it were a cold backup, aren't you? I think the right procedure is a point-in-time-recovery, that is:
restore data files
recover database until time '<just_when_the_hotbackup_finished>';
open database with resetlogs
I hope up've performed a coldbackup before recovering db in order to restore the controlfiles and online redo logs.
Hope this help.
