While researching a problem we have I came across Note: *144808.1 it says in part....

For the moment, do NOT use Expdp/Impdp when going to UTF8 or a other multibyte

      characterset on ALL 10g versions including 10.2.0.3 and 11.1.0.6.
      It will provoke data corruption!
      This is caused by the impdp Bug 5874989.

The "old" exp/imp work fine. This problem is fixed in the upcoming 10.2.0.4 and 11.1.0.7 patchsets. For 10.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.3 you can ask a backport for Bug 5874989
<https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/showdoc?db=Bug&id=5874989>
if you need to use expdp/impdp.

So now I am back to using exp/imp again. :-(
