According to your persistant RMAN configuration, and if you do not allocate specific tape channels for your backups, we can gather that Backup Exec is not used directly as a media manager within RMAN. It puts the backup pieces on tapes afterwards, and it deletes them from disks. Right?
Then what you observe is normal since the backup pieces aren't at their original location anymore. Restore them with Backup Exec and run "crosscheck backup;" once more time.
To prevent such inconsistencies, you can run a "change backup ... unavailable;" command after Backup Exec deletes the backups from disk. Then those backups will never expire. Of course, run "change backup ... available;" after you restore them to disk if you want RMAN to make use of them.
