Cloning Problems

Having some trouble cloning a database. The database was shutdown with the immediate option and all file where copied to new location. I usually shutdown immediate, open then shutdown normal myself but this was outside my control. I did the standard stuff with the trace file, reset logs etc...done this many times before. When I tried to open the database with the resetlogs option it told me I needed to do recovery. I have been doing this a lot lately with hot files so recovery is usually required but it has been a while since I have used cold files. Any ideas what I have done wrong here? Was it the shutdown immediate? My bet is if I had switched through the redo logs before the shutdown I probably wouldn't have this problem but I also thought that the shutdown immediate would have issued a checkpoint and all the changes in the redo would have been made to the datafiles. Thanks!
