Export w/ rows=N taking hours......

Does anyone have any insight as to why taking an export w/ rows=n would take many, many hours?

Details are as follows:
Solaris 8, running Oracle 9.2.0.6, 64 bit Schema being exported has 2,451 tables.

Parameter file being used is:
userid=system/<password removed>
file=proddta_jdeprd_nodata.dmp
log=exp_proddta_jdeprd_nodata.log
rows=n
owner=proddta
direct=y

Yes, I'm aware that direct=y won't do anything w/ rows=n, but it ought to be harmless.

Export session has been running for 18 hours. V$SESSION_WAIT shows db file sequential read waits, and some of the queries are:

SELECT COLNAME, COLNO, PROPERTY      FROM   SYS.EXU9CCL      WHERE  CNO
= :1      ORDER  BY COLNO;

SELECT SYNNAM, SYNNAM2, SYNTAB, TABOWN, TABNODE, PUBLIC$, SYNOWN, SYNOWNID, TABOWNID, SYNOBJNO

FROM   SYS.EXU9PTS      WHERE  SYNOBJNO IN (          SELECT SYNOBJNO
FROM SYS.EXU9TYPT          WHERE TABOBJNO = :1 )      
ORDER BY SYNTIME Anyone have any ideas or clues why it would take 18+ hours to do a rows=n export of less than 2,500 tables?

Thanks,

-Mark
