I find that the worst problems I have with SQL*Loader tend to be
language related. The same goes with export/import. I wish there were

selected from NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS it showed the proper settings yet
I couldn't load. NLS_LANG was unset in Unix/
one of these days I might actually learn something about Oracle :)
