Rich, Are you using PQO? In which case online rebuilds don't work - I'm not sure if this means they fail or more likely it means they revert to being non-online.
You may have done it, but have you searched the 8174 release notes as another way of looking at issues with online rebuilds?

I plan on using the ONLINE option for our 8.1.7.2.0 DB, so I hit Metalink to search for possible problems. The only major problem I see is pre-8.1.7.1 where the ONLINE option on an ALTER INDEX REBUILD can actually corrupt the index. Since that shouldn't be a concern with our current patch level, does anyone know of a reason to avoid using ONLINE? TIA!
