Solution provided seems to be the way to go.
However I would suggest that the "skip" directive will be replace by
"null".
This will solve potential problems of "not seeing" the /u01/oracle
directory while browsing through the client filesystem.
A snippet from the "uasm" documentation:
The null ASM does not back up the specified files and directories, but
keeps the file name in the online index of the parent directory. If a
file with null directive is specified as the save set to be backed up,
an empty save set (typically shown in 'mminfo -v' query as '4 B' in
size) is created in media index for information but the save set will
not contain any recoverable data.
