Call RMAN from command-line as follows:

    rman nocatalog log=<logfilename> debug trace=<tracefilename>

Both the "logfilename" and "tracefilename" should have copious amounts of
output, which can provide a clue.

When you allocate the channel, make sure to add the phrase "trace=1" to the
end of the ALLOCATE command.  This will produce ".trc" files in your
USER_DUMP_DEST directory with additional diagnostic output...

Hope this helps...
