Well, since there are no other replies. My recommendation is to do an export/import. I opened up a SAR with Oracle about doing something very similar to this. The trick is moving from 32-bit to 64-bit. There's scripts to do this (coverting word size for the 64bit platform), but its really cleaner to do the export/import or datapump export/import.
