On the one hand, yes, bscan needs access to both the Catalog and the
volume to be scanned. On the other hand, if you're using disk-based
volumes (which you are), bscan can access that volume by any means,
including a remote mount or even a copy.
Remember, too, that bscan is a very infrequently-needed tool under
normal circumstances. The only time you need it is to scan a volume
back into the catalog database that is no longer in it. For instance,
in the event of a catalog DB crash, you might create a new empty
Catalog, then simply use bscan to scan the volume containing the most
recent catalog backup into the new Catalog, then run a full Catalog
restore from that.
