Are you on 9.2.0.4? Your SQL*Plus is, but that could be from another binary tree. Update to 9.2.0.5 and then to 9.2.0.7. Yes, that is 05 first, as there's a bug in updating the update process... This sequence avoids having to roll back CPU patches and 9.2.0.8....

Anyway; what's so hard about:
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
rman target /
shutdown immediate
startup mount
backup database
alter database open;
exit;

That's RMAN, baby! Just configure the darn thing once; control file autobackup would be nice...
