Open resetlogs after RMAN duplicate fails

Question

Hi,
I wonder if anybody else has come across this issue, or is able to shed any light on it.
I have done a duplicate database to a new host with RMAN.
At the point where the duplicate opens the new database with resetlogs
I get this error in the alert log:
alter database open resetlogs
Tue Apr 7 02:10:06 2009
Errors in file /oracle/admin/udump/db1_ora_13931.trc:
ORA-00367: checksum error in log file header
ORA-00305: log 1 of thread 1 inconsistent; belongs to another database
ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: '/oracle/oradata/redo/db1_REDO_01A.log'
additional info: Oracle 10.2.0.4, Linux o/s.
thanks.

i have used the logfile keyword in the duplicate script to tell the duplicate
location and size of redologs.
duplicate target database to db1
logfile
group 1 ('/oracle/oradata/redo/db1_REDO_01A.log'
,'/oracle/oradata/redo/db1_REDO_01B.log') SIZE 200M REUSE,
group 2 ('/oracle/oradata/redo/db1_REDO_02A.log'
,'/oracle/oradata/redo/db1_REDO_02B.log') SIZE 200M REUSE,
group 3 ('/oracle/oradata/redo/db1_REDO_03A.log'
,'/oracle/oradata/redo/db1_REDO_03B.log') SIZE 200M REUSE,
group 4 ('/oracle/oradata/redo/db1_REDO_04A.log
','/oracle/oradata/redo/db1_REDO_04B.log') SIZE 200M REUSE;
my thoughts are that the resetlogs will make automatically recreate the redo logs.
there were pre-existing ones in this location, but REUSE should overcome this issue?
