Yeah, it's a pain. My solution was to artificially set exit values
within my RMAN code generation script (I use one script which will build
the RMAN scripts according to the policy, SID, type of backup, etc.) in
situations where the backup failed but the script returned an exit value
of 0. This forces NBU to accurately report back failures/successes.
