I'm with Niall here. Deferred segment creation is a feature that brings very 
little benefit (negligible space saving in ratio, not in absolute amount), with 
unexpected side effects. I was about to set deferred_segment_creation to false 
on all our 11g databases because some of our traditional export dumps are found 
missing tables due to this feature. Then I found

Original Export Raises EXP-11 Table Does Not Exist or Table is Ignored [ID 
960216.1]

and realize it's only a problem in 11.2.0.1, and most of our databases are or 
will soon be 11.2.0.3, so I didn't bother. In the meantime, we changed those 
exp jobs to expdp to avoid this problem in 11.2.0.1, and keep in mind not to 
use exp ad-hoc.

I didn't know this was still a problem in case of transportable tablespace 
export, in version higher than 11.2.0.1(?).
