Problem in ammending listener.ora file

Question

Hi,
I am using oracle database 11.2.0 Enterprise edition on windows 7
I want to clone orcl database on the same node with finance sid
I have done the following steps successfully but stuck to make changes in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora. I am posting both here please let me know where is the problem.
When I try to connect both databases separately i can connect. But rman is not connect to clone database separately or together with the following commands and giving me the following error
C:\Users\Administrator>rman target  sys/malik123@orcl auxiliary sys/malik123@finance

Hi Malik,
Please ensure there are no spaces left in the listener.ora file.
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME=orcl)
      (SID_NAME = orcl)
      (ORACLE_HOME = D:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
      (PROGRAM = extproc)
      (ENVS = "EXTPROC_DLLS=ONLY:D:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\oraclr11.dll")
             <<<<<<<<<<                   
  (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME=finance)
      (SID_NAME = finance)
      (ORACLE_HOME = D:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
               <<<<<<<<<<     
Please restart the listener, and confirm whether that tnsping for  ORCL and FINANCE is working..
Thanks &
Best Regards,
