ORA-00349: failure obtaining block size for '+Z' in Oracle XE

Question

Hello,
I am attempting to move the online redo log files to a new flash recovery area location created on network drive "Z" ( Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0).
When I run @?/sqlplus/admin/movelogs; in SQL*Plus as a local sysdba, I get the following errors:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00349: failure obtaining block size for '+Z'
ORA-06512: at line 14
Please let me know how to go about resolving this issue.
Thank you.
See below for detail:

I am trying to drop and recreate ONLINE redo logs on my STANDB DATABASE (11.1.0.7)., but i am getting the below error.
On primary, we have done the changes., ie we added new logfile with bigger size and 3 members. When trying to do the same on Standby we are getting this error.
Our database is in Active DG Read only mode and the oracle version is 11.1.0.7.
I have deffered the log apply and cancelled the managed recovery, and dg is in manual mode.
SQL> alter database Add LOGFILE GROUP 4 ('+DT_DG1','+DT_DG2','+DT_DG3') SIZE 1024M;
alter database Add LOGFILE GROUP 4 ('+DT_DG1','+DT_DG2','+DT_DG3') SIZE 1024M
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00349: failure obtaining block size for '+DT_DG1'First why you are dropping & recreating online redo log files on standby.
On standby only standby redo log files will be used. Not sure what you are trying to do.
here is example how to create online redo log files, Check that diskgroup is mounted and have sufficient space to create.
sys@ORCL> select member from v$logfile;
MEMBER
C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ORCL\REDO03.LOG
C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ORCL\REDO02.LOG

  4     'C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ORCL\redo_g01c.log') size 10m;
