Geez, what a mess...

        RMAN Cannot Backup Foreign (transportable tablespace, plugged-in) Datafiles [ID 357383.1]

So, for me the following took place to fix it: (note this db was created using the 11g provided starter database with example schemas - so apparently the EXAMPLE tablespace gets created as a PLUGGED_IN tablespace)

1.) Switch EXAMPLE tablespace to READ ONLY;
2.) Switch logfile
3.) Switch EXAMPLE tablespace to READ WRITE;
4.) Switch logfile

5.) Attempt to backup database again - HOWEVER RMAN now *FAILS* due to RMAN-03009: failure of resync command on default channel at 08/08/2012 10:09:42 RMAN-20052: invalid datafile create SCN

6.) So, UNREGISTER database
7.) Reregister database
8.) Sync database
9.) backup database

10.) Verify that yes, now all datafiles are being backed up correctly and file IDs now match everywhere

RMAN 11.2.0.2 with catalog on newly created database RMAN is telling me it cannot find a backup of datafile #5 yet the list backup shows it - It appears I have something misconfigured somewhere but I can't figure out where.

RMAN> restore database validate;
