Hi DBA ???
you should have copied the backupset to host B and run rman copy from there. Nfs is a possibility to copy automagically. Have host C to export a backup directory to both host A and B or export the backup destination from host A to host B (or the other way round).

In your case I would copy the files using rcp or ftp.
