Hi Larry, if you're using SET NEWNAME then I don't think placing it in a run block by itself is going to take, even with the SWITCH DATAFILE ALL. This approach has always worked for me:

# . orasetup <SID>
# export NSR_CLIENT=<source host>
# svrmgrl
# SVRMGR> connect internal
# SVRMGR> startup nomount restrict;
# SVRMGR> exit
# rman target sys/<passwd> rcvcat rman_prd/<passwd>@<alias>
# rman> @rman_restore.<SID>
#

run {
allocate channel t1 type 'SBT_TAPE';
allocate channel t2 type 'SBT_TAPE'
#

set newname for datafile '/u03/oradata/TRGT8/system01.dbf' to '/u05/oradata/COPY8/system01.dbf';
set newname for datafile '/u04/oradata/TRGT8/psidx01.dbf' to '/u06/oradata/COPY8/psidx01.dbf';
...
set newname for datafile '/u02/oradata/TRGT8/sysrbc01.dbf' to '/u08/oradata/COPY8/sysrbc01.dbf';
#

restore ( database );
#

release channel t1;
release channel t2;
}

As you can tell the example is old, which is in my notes for restoring to another machine. Note the svrmgrl command. However, I believe the RMAN syntax is still valid. I think that if you want to switch the datafiles, which in your case seems appropriate, that you would place that command right after the restore. At least that's what I got out of the RMAN reference manual. Good luck.

	 RUN

;
	    SWITCH DATAFILE ALL;
