I think that I have done this with a saveset that only contained
the cf, but I may be mistaken. But anyway, you can configure
RMAN to send the controlfile autobackups to disk, where they
can be backed up by Networker as a normal file. This should
solve all your problems with picking an older cf as well.

Because of the backslashes in the saveset name this looks like
you are restoring a Windows saveset to an Unix machine. And it does
not look like a RMAN saveset either cause the scriptname itself is
missing, it should be something like RMAN:/opt/oracle/admin/myorcl \
/scripts/fullbackup.rman

AFAIK not for datafiles, so I think that I did this with a cf,
but maybe I am mistaken here, I will have to test this
again.

As far as I understand this mechanism RMAN should try
to get an older cf backuppiece if it can not read the first one.
So if there was a bad spot on tape, RMAN should correct this
problem automatically.
But you can always backup the cf via RMAN to disk
and then save and recover it with Networker.
