Unfortunaley, X11 comes with a binary called rman and it's usually higher up the PATH than Oracle's own binary called rman.

I usually do something like:

        alias rman='$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman'

With single quotes so that $ORACLE_HOME is evaluated when I type the rman command and not now when I'm defining the alias. This means I can change Oracle Homes and still get the correct version of rman for that Oracle Home.

What you are seeing is not unusual.

Cheers,
Norm.

PS. Your real version of rman lives in $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman.
