    Think about it this way : You are telling rman and NBU to save a database as it is on Monday 23 Nov. While this is taking place, someone else is telling NBU and rman to restore the same database to a previous date and time. Let's say Friday 20 Nov. Surely you cannot expect both actions to go ahead?

This is obviously the issue: "... the window when production backup is going on..." You cannot restore anything while the backup is still active. Run bplist command to see what completed backups are available before restore is attempted.
