Just for grins, try deleting the backup sets one at a time.
RMAN> change backupset 698 delete;
Sorry - I don't have any information about "additional information 2".

Could someone please tell me where I can download a manual for RMAN, or go to look up error codes? I've been looking on google as well as the Oracle website, and haven't had any luck.
Here is my problem; When trying to delete obsolete RMAN backupsets, I get an error:
RMAN> change backupset 698, 702, 704, 708 delete;

Do you really want to delete the above objects (enter YES or NO)? YES RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03009: failure of delete command on ORA_MAINT_SBT_TAPE_1 channel at 03/02/2005 16:27:06 ORA-27191 (See ORA-27191.ora-code.com): sbtinfo2 returned error Additional information: 2
What in the world does "Additional information: 2" mean? I can't find any more useful detail than this.
