RE: RMAN Job Failure

But "connect / as sysdba" does not use the password file while a remote login as sysdba would have to do. I think checking on the status (presence, permissions, etc...) is a worthwhile task as is checking the status of the spfile parameter: remote_login_passwordfile.

I don't think this is the problem as I can do the

CONNECT / AS SYSDBA

from the system console when logged in as the oracle owner account

Sounds like a problem with your password file or remote_login_passwordfile parameter?
