RMAN cryptic file in my $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory

user10784896Feb 18 2010 — edited Feb 18 2010
the following commands are issued:

rman catalog rman/pwd@catalog target sys/pwd@target msglog '<archive_directory>/msglog.log' append

I then issue
backup database format='<archive_directory>/%U';

Now the clugy part. RMAN is creating a file in my $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory called c-2723735747-20100218-02. I have no idea what this file is or why it is being created there. I thought I had my bases covered by using msglog and format clause in my backup command. Any help is greatly appreciated because I am running out of ideas.

Thanks
