Without the benefit of reading the actual error messages which you did not post try checking the following as these are common causes of problems:

1- On most UNIX platforms exp has a 2G export file size limitation; check that you did not exceed it
2- Check that the output destination directory is not full and is large enough to hold the expected size of the export file
