Version is 8.0.6.3.0

I have several databases using the exact same set of generic backup scripts. The script that puts all tablespaces into backup mode is generated automatically and done correctly. Same is true for the script which takes all the tablespaces out of backup mode. The problem I am facing is that when this script is invoked, one (and only one) of these databases occasionally has problems. Some tablespaces are successfully put into backup mode and some say

ORA-01146: cannot start online backup - file 15 is already in backup ORA-01110: data file 15: '< datafile name >'

The only things that would make sense to me is if two of these scripts were running in parallel or if the prior day had some weird problem. Neither of these seem to be the case. The only thing that seems to straighten things out is to runs these scripts manually.

Ideas?

Regards,
Kip Bryant
