The problems you are having arise *because* you don't use RMAN to
delete the archived redo logs. As you don't include a version it is
difficult to provide you with the exact commands, but you should
lookup the delete expired command in your RMAN manual.
You should also lookup the skip unavailable clause of the backup
command.
However, if RMAN still attempts to backup archive logs of several
weeks old, there is likely more wrong with your script.
If you use RMAN to backup your database, you must dump any other tools
you are using, otherwiese you will be in trouble.
