Kindly advise all experts - cloning db error

Question

Hi,
I encountered an error when trying to create controlfile for my cloned database.
SQL> startup nomount
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 42741800 bytes
Fixed Size 450600 bytes
Variable Size 41943040 bytes
Database Buffers 204800 bytes
Redo Buffers 143360 bytes
SQL> CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "TEST" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG;
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "TEST" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file '?/dbs/[email protected]'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
Could you tell me what this above error is about? I'm sure that the db do not have this [email protected] file.. how come is oracle looking for it?
