Good thinking but that isn't it. I did "show parameter background" and it is the directory I'm checking in. It doesn't appear the instance itself thinks it is somewhere else. Anyone have other ideas?

have you checked the background_dump_dest parameter in the ASM instance? are you sure you are looking at the correct alert log? sometimes I've seen ASM loosing the pfile and going back to default configs, which include the alert log location.
