The rman and oracle servers are NT4.0 sp6a.  The relinking in the manual 
outlines the steps for unix not win32.

        Hi Stephen!
        When using Oracle 8.1.7 you will have to relink RMAN with TDPO. This
        procedure can be found in the manual. For your convenience, here's the
        direct link:
