hi,
I think, your recover catalog has some problems.  Was it working before or
is this the first time you are trying this?
If it was working before and just stop working, I would contact oracle.  If
you don't have any valuable data in it, by rerunning the catrman.sql might
solve your problem.
If this was your first time running have you run catrman.sql?  If you have
run it, was it finished successfully?

regards,
Thiha
