RESTORE ARCHIVELOG ALL VALIDATE; - returns log file names

Question

Environment:
Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 10.5
RMAN using control file as repository.
My archive logs are going to /arch/<SID>. During a time of unforeseen high activity the directory was filling up and some of the files had to be move to a different mount point. I have since done several Level 0 incremental backups including (plus) archivelogs.
My RMAN archivelog deletion setting is: CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO BACKED UP 1 TIMES TO DISK;
I have since begun to run more frequent archive log backups to keep the mount point cleaner.
Since I have several successful Level 0 backups including archivelogs, I manually deleted the archived logs on the secondary mount point.
I registered the logs in the secondary mount point using REGISTER ARCHIVELOG START IN '/xxxx';
I then ran a CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL; to update the control file repository.
When I query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view I see many entries for my deleted log files with a STATUS = 'X' (Expired) and a BACKUP_COUNT = 0.
I ran DELETE EXPIRED ARCHIVELOG ALL;
Now when I query the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view I see many entries with blank name column for the SEQUENCE# in my list and with a STATUS = 'D' (Deleted) and a BACKUP_COUNT = 0.
When I run a RESTORE ARCHIVELOG ALL VALIDATE; it returns a long list of my deleted files with:
RMAN-06025: no backup of archived log ... to restore
OK, enough background. My question is how do I get RMAN to not look for my deleted files since I have several good backups?
I realize my deletion policy says the files have to be backed up once to disk, which according to the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view they are not, but I was hoping since I ran the CROSSCHECK RMAN would not even be concerned with them.
Many thanks for any advice!!

Thanks for the help! Square brackets! Doh!
I changed the SQL just a bit. I have only one (1) thread and the primary database was running for several months before the standby was implemented so there are over 3500 sequence#'s in the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view for the Primary (DEST=1) that are not in the Standby (DEST=2).
Here's the SQL I ran, using the SQUARE brackets! :-)
SELECT SEQUENCE#
FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG
WHERE DEST_ID=1
MINUS
SELECT SEQUENCE#
FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG
WHERE DEST_ID=2It appears to me the Standby is accepting and applying the archived logs from the Primary based on looking at the most recent archived log sequence#'s.
I'm just trying to get rid of the entries in the RESTORE ARCHIVELOG VALIDATE; command output.
I don't have an RMAN Repository but am using the control files at the moment.
Any other suggestions are very welcomed!!
Thanks again!
