Ok, I figured it out. I took the standby out of managed recovery mode, and then did a

alter database create datafile '/u03/oradata/EBPRDS1/indx03a_03.dbf' as '/u03/oradata/EBPRDS1/indx03a_03.dbf'

and then put it back in managed recovery mode. I did a logfile switch on the primary, and the standby started humming through the backed-up logfiles, and is working perfectly.
