Creation of standby db in ASM fails.

Question

We are using dataguard to help us migrate off of ocfs and over to ASM. I am attempting to create the standby database and believe that I have all of the parameters setup correctly e.g. db_file_name_convert and log_file_name_convert but when I run my rman script that uses duplicate to create the standby db I get the following errors during standby db creation when rman attempts to mount the standby db right after the standby control files are created.
channel dev_0: restored backup piece 1

ORA-15171: invalid syntax in the alias path after 'RCIDB/'
RCIDB is the name of our db and the directoty exists in the correct ASM disk group but still we get the error ORA-15171: invalid syntax in the alias path after 'RCIDB/'
Has anyone encountered the same.
Thanks.
