Resuming an aborted RMAN database duplication

This weekend I was running an RMAN database duplication to migrate our development instances from 32-bit server with file-based storage to 64-bit server using ASM. I've done this once already and it went virtually fine.

However this time we got errors while RMAN was restoring the archived logs. I presume that archived logs would be towards the end of the process, and this was already after 6+ hours. We believe the error to be due to a bug in the failover logic in the qlogic drivers, and have disabled it for now. Reissuing my command basically started the process over from scratch.

I'm wondering if there is a method available to have the DUPLICATE DATABASE or maybe just manually, restore the remaining archived logs and then move on to recovery and database opening. It seems silly to have to do another 6 hour datafile restore.

I could swear that RMAN did know when files didn't need to be restored and would skip over them. Perhaps that was for a "restore database" command.
