How duplicate ora11 on windows to another host with different directory structure

Question

Hi,
I need help.
I want to duplicate db (11.2) running on windows from server A to Server B
Directory structures on server A and Server B are different;
my steps
on server A
1.backup database plus archivelog delete input;
2.insert into table t values(1);
3.commit;
4.backup archive log all;
On Server B
5.copy backup and archive logs from server A to server B (c:\backup\temp)
6.create folders C:\oracle\oradata\bamboo
7.oradim –new –sid bamboo -- (verified service is running)
8. created pfile.ora with param (db_name=bamboo)
9.SET oracle_SID=bamboo
10.sqlplus  /as sysdba
11.startup nomount pfile='(c:\backup\temp\pfile.ora'
12.C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\db_1\database>rman auxiliary /
result
..connected to auxiliary database: SBDBT02W (DBID=186082786, not open)  --could it be the fact that I tried to execute code bellow?
My understanding at this point I should be connected to 'bamboo' -- my new database, what steps did I miss?
I expect
..connected to auxiliary database: bamboo ( not mounted)
bellow is code that I was going to run on Server B
RUN
  SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO 'C:\oracle\oradata\bamboo\SYSTEM01.DBF';
  SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO 'C:\oracle\oradata\bamboo\SYSAUX01.DBF';
  SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 3 TO 'C:\oracle\oradata\bamboo\UNDOTBS01.DBF';
  SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 4 TO 'C:\oracle\oradata\bamboo\USERS01.DBF';
  SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 5 TO 'C:\oracle\oradata\bamboo\EXAMPLE01.DBF';
  DUPLICATE DATABASE TO bamboo
  UNTIL TIME "TO_DATE('11/24/2013 13:18:02', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')"
  BACKUP LOCATION 'C:\backup\temp'
  NOFILENAMECHECK;
when I executed it on Server B ,I got following error
Starting Duplicate Db at 25-NOV-13
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 11/25/2013 11:27:36
RMAN-05500: the auxiliary database must be not mounted when issuing a DUPLICATE
command
I looking for steps by step instruction for duplicating db to another windows host with different directory structure.
Thank you
Alex
