RMAN-06403: could not obtain a fully authorized session

Question

Hi,
I am trying to duplicate 10204 instance with ASM to clone machine .
I have checked that i can connect to the target / aux / rman instances before runing the duplicate script as you can see bellow.
Also i checked that the Env. variable are correct :
$ ps -ef | grep pmon
oracle    5157     1  0 Feb16 ?        00:00:17 asm_pmon_+ASM
oracle   30838     1  0 17:15 ?        00:00:00 ora_pmon_b3dev
$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/software/oracle/B3DEV10gR2
$ echo $ORACLE_SID
b3dev
-- AUX
$ sqlplus sys/xxxx@b3dev as sysdba

With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing optionsI opened the AUX instance in NOMOUNT mode , and then run the rman script.
rman TARGET sys/xxxx@MYB3PROD CATALOG catman_b3prd/xxxx@rman AUXILIARY sys/xxxx@b3dev
RMAN>
run
allocate channel 'dev_0' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'SBT_LIBRARY=/opt/omni/lib/libob2oracle8_64bit.so,ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=b3prd,OB2BARLIST=b3prd)' maxopenfiles 16;
set until time "to_date('17-11-2010 10:45:00','dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')";
duplicate target database to b3dev
PFILE = /software/oracle/B3DEV10gR2/dbs/initb3dev.ora
NOFILENAMECHECK;
}Then I got the following error:
