RMAN errors during backup - ORA-19640 and ORA-19643

Good day all,    I have been testing retention policy settings for RMAN backups and so far so good.
I did a test restore using one of the backups taken last week to a previous point in time and it ran successfully.
However, when I try to do backups of the database I get the errors below for full backups.

ORA-00236: snapshot operation disallowed: mounted control file is a backup

When I try and incremental backup I get the errors below.

ORA-19643: datafile 2: incremental-start SCN is too recent
ORA-19640: datafile checkpoint is SCN 1668762 time 06/20/2013 15:35:46

I am researching this in Metalink, but any ideas would be appreciated.

Howdy, Stranger!
