*3 3 p261 1429245374 CURRENT 5515927706621 15-OCT-12*you are trying to restore the database to the date Aug 08, but you cannot restore your database older than Oct 15....so until time clause should always be more than Oct 15......
another option is set the incarnation to old incarnation and try using until time accordingly
