RMAN duplicate database fails spfile doesn't exist

Version  11.2.0.3,   O/S  CentOS 6.10

First, background...

So I have a database that is a copy of production,  it has a backup control file and a cron job every now and then keeps the database up to date by applying archived logs that are copied to this server.  As part of a qa process I have a shell script that copies this database, renames it/moves the data files, etc and anonymizes the data to be used for a nightly qa build/unit test run.

This has been working flawlessly for years,  well all good things come to an end    This was all on 10g (I know I know),  and we recently went to 11.2 (once again I know it's old).

Howdy, Stranger!
