RMan and DELETE OBSOLETE NOPROMPT deletes from CATALOG but NOT from DISK

Greetings,

I have a problem where my Rman jobs (Level 1 Differential, Level 1 Cumulative, or Level 0) have a DELETE OBSOLETE NOPROMPT as the last command in a run block - the command does indeed DELETE from the CATALOG as I'd expect based upon a Recovery Window of 15 Days BUT it does not DELETE the file from DISK ( it does DELETE from the Recovery Area on disk, BUT it does NOT from the NFS disk device).  Those backupsets on NFS are created from "backup recovery area to destination '/bkup'.

The RMan job run from OEM (12c) and the databases are all 12.1.0.2 - the OEM job runs against 3 database targets (all RAC, each of which have 2 instances running), and at the same time.  All targets generally completed within 30 seconds to 1 minute of each other.

Howdy, Stranger!
