NetWorker: NMDA backup of Oracle control file failed

NetWorker Oracle RMAN backup of database and archive logs are fine.
Backup of the control file failed with the following error:

Starting Control File and SPFILE Autobackup at 04-FEB-16
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

ORA-19511: Error received from media manager layer, error text:
   RPC receive operation failed; errno = Bad file number (2:14:9)

The RMAN backup script contains the following line:

CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE 'sbt_tape' TO '%F';

This also based Oracle shows all commands, the following listed:

CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO 'SBT_TAPE';
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' TO '%F';
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default

The same backup to disk works fine.

Index checked and started with fresh client index and same problem.
Issue observed only when "CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;"

In RMAN, set the AUTOBACKUP to off:

RMAN> CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP off;

Add the following line to the RMAN script:
