OK, more fumbling around bu me :-( I did:

SVRMGR> alter database datafile
'/db_local1/oradata/pwhse/tables/config.dbf' online ; Statement processed.

SVRMGR> recover database until cancel ;
ORA-00279: Change 108372033 generated at 09/23/03 23:11:37 needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: Suggestion : /dumpdisk/archivelogs/pwhse/arch/1_2162459.dbf ORA-00280: Change 108372033 for thread 1 is in sequence #2162459 Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL} CANCEL
Media recovery cancelled.

and still v$backup list file 10 as:

        10 RECOVER READ WRITE  108474673   20971520   20971520
		/db_local1/oradata/pwhse/tables/config.dbf
				   

What am I doing wrong here?
