I will disagree in that I do not think you should ignore the error completely. While the exp is fine as a backup of the data, the message indicates that you should update or remove the statistics on the tables in question. After all you probably want the statistics to reflect the actual data as it is currently and not how it was at the time the statistics were gathered on another system. Though there are times when that may indeed be what you want.

While importing you can say statistics=3Dnone. the same also can be done while exporting. This could be due to the different nls_lang. Just ignore it.
