Thanks for everyone who responded to this. I have finally figured it out.
A previous DBA had set up an 817 database with a user called Oracle in it.
When I tried to run a full import into a new database on another server as
'sys as sysdba' or system it would fail and tell me that I had no privileges
on some of the tablespaces, etc. The previous DBA was doing exports as exp
/ . In the original database, os_authent_prefix = ""
The new 9206 was set to os_authent_prefix = "OPS$". As far as I can tell,
in 9206 you can not set os_authent_prefix = "" . To make a long story
short, there seems to be two ways around this. Create the Oracle user in
the new database and (if the password is the same on both servers) use the
actual password (instead of identified externally) or create the users in
advance and adjust quotas to match the original database. I don't know why
sys or system did not work, but it didn't. I had other dbas look at it to
verify this.
Thanks for all of your help.

Hi,
I don't recall using a 'forward slash' or 'stroke' as an escape character in UNIX with
exp/imp utilities.
Can you please shows us an example of what you are thinking here? Thanks.
The second part of your response is right on the money, though.
Cheers!
