I can know only what you post and what you post is that OS cannot find 'E:\ROL' directory.

By the way, you gave "format 'E:\rol\%u_%c','E:\rol\%u_%c'" so twice the same name, I doubt RMAN can write twice into the same file at the same time (assuming it uses the same unique name for both).
Try to first use only one value.

Michel
