Dog Days of Summer.
Oracle 11.2.0.3.5 on RHEL 6.3 ASM

I'm trying to restore a single node of a RAC instance for DR practice. The controlfile is on tape. I started the instance in nomount, connected to the target with RMAN, set the DBID, allocated a channel and told it to go out and get the specified controlfile.

Here's what I got:

RMAN-12001: could not open channel c1
RMAN-10008: could not create channel context
RMAN-10003: unable to connect to target database

ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

Okay. Here's the listener status:

Connecting to (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=)(PORT=1521)) STATUS of the LISTENER

I've tried a number of approaches to try to fix this, and none have worked. Googled and MOS'd. Even did the (UR=A) thing. Missing something.   I'm seriously open for ideas here.
