Iam using ORACLE 9206 on Windows 2000.

I created a virtual drive E by subst command. I can cd to E drive and dir w/o problme. Unfortunately, RMAN can not see it while I am testing. E:> rman target=sys/xxxxxx
RMAN> sql "alter database backup controlfile to trace as ''e:\test.sql''"; sql statement: alter database backup controlfile to trace as ''e:\test.sql''

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
