As I said, the filesystems are totally different and the for eg., if i have a "users" tablespace's dfiles in /u10, /u12 and /u13 in old system where it was shut down and backed up, the new system (to be restored) has totally diff.. Filesystems.. Sizes and naming of Filesystems could vary..
Create a link named /u13 that points to some other filesystem, say /u06:
ln -s /u06 /u13

Then, you will have /u13/dbs/...

This way, you won't have to futz around with the control file to get your database up. Once it's up, you can move your files and rename them with or without messing with the control file.
