Error connecting to RMAN

Question

Ive been tumbling with this poblem for a while, and have finally reached the point where i decided to try you folks out :)
Im setting up backup on a 10.1 RAC installation on AIX 5.3, using netbackup through libobk.a64 connection to oracle.
I should mention that like one time in twenty (or so) i manage to get a good connection and make a backup without failure, but mostly when i try to connect to RMAN I get the following error:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00601: fatal error in recovery manager
RMAN-03010: fatal error during library cache pre-loading
RMAN-10038: database session for channel default terminated unexpectedly
RMAN-10038 has led me to believe that this problem probably have some connection to the use of libobk.a64, so i ran the sbttest utility, which resulted in the following message:
root@aaslabdbsyd # $SBTTEST test.f -trace test.log The sbt function pointers are loaded from libobk.a(shr.o) library.

MMAPI error from sbtcommand: 7501, Syntax error, space found in key word : <test sbtcommand string>
-- sbtcommand failed
Though I cant put my finger on the connection, i have a feeling that these two errors are connected in some way.
Anyone seen anything like this?
Or have a suggestion what i should do to figure things out?
Thanks

Hi,
here is what oerr says about it, maybe itz helps =;-) :
[oracle@kr01-KL1 ~]$ oerr rman 3010
3010, 1, "fatal error during library cache pre-loading"
// *Cause:  This message should be accompanied by other error message(s)
// indicating the cause of the error.
// *Action: Check the accompanying errors.
[oracle@kr01-KL1 ~]$ oerr rman 10038
10038, 1, "database session for channel %s terminated unexpectedly"
// *Cause:  The database connection for the specified channel no longer exists.
// Either the session was terminated by some external means or
// the channel terminated because of an internal error.
// *Action: Check for an oracle trace file for detailed information on why
// the session terminated
