I have a strange situation

yesterday my RMAN backup failed with ORA-00245: control file backup failed; target is likely on a local file system

BUT BUT BUT

today when i refire the backup kit worked perfectly,i didnt change any of the settings related to the snapshot controlfile,the location of my snapshot controlfile on both the nodes is as folows

on node 1:-
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/oracle/app/oracle/oracle/product/11203/db/dbs/snapcf_wbcdb1.f'; # default
on node 2:-
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/oracle/app/oracle/oracle/product/11203/db/dbs/snapcf_wbcdb2.f'; # default
i am firing the backup from node1

wat could be the cause for this strange behaviour???

i am using Extended RAC on Linux platform
