Vince,
trust me, it works and i had done it manytimes. The log it is asking for does not exist. It is infact looking for the online redo log that was current at the instance shutdown.
In fact the method i follow to clone a database is to shut it down normally, copy all the files (control, data and redo) to the new place, start mount the instance in the new place, change the file locations if necessary and open the database. regards
