There is a Metalink note (73431.1) which talks about the rman version compatibility, but it also states:
"Ensure that the RMAN executable version matches the version of the target database that it is backing up" which I presume to mean that you need to run rman from each target and "push" to the catalog & storage management node(s). This is how I've always seen it done - but I've often wondered if one could get away driving eveything from the catalog node, pulling client databases over sqlnet - thus only having a single TSM client (and license) on the rman catalog node.
