Different Results From V$Rman_Backup_job_details and V$Rman_Status

Question

Does anyone know why I would get different results from V$Rman_Backup_job_details and V$Rman_Status on the same instance?
Image of Quries: www.hydell.com/OracleBackupDifferences.png
Dates Returned For Latest Backup
V$Rman_Status = 10/13/2011
V$Rman_Backup_job_details = 7/24/2011
Which view is the best to use for monitoring backups?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Please show the script and that might help look into this. Also the timezone of the OS shows EST. And cron shows the scheduled time at 12hrs. It should run at 12:00 EST hours and not GMT.
Also please post output for below queries. Are backups run from the same node? (If RAC)
select value from dba_scheduler_global_attribute where attribute_name = 'DEFAULT_TIMEZONE';
