error creating database from template ( NT/9.0.1 to linux/9.2.0.1.0)

I am not a DBA and have only very basic understanding of Oracle so I apologize in advance for any stupid questions.

I am trying to create a database on Linux (my home machine), Oracle server version 9.2.0.1.0 (as reported by bdump/alert_<dbname>.log) from a template created at work server (NT machine), oracle server version 9.0.1 (as reported by the <template-name>.dbc) file.

I figured out that the backslashes in the dbc file have to be converted to frontslahes for linux paths and I have already done that.

I am using dbca to create the database. I copy the dbc and dfj files in assistants/dbca/templates directory and choose the dbc filename as the template name.

The errors I get in bdump/alert are as follows: ORA-1503 signalled during: Create controlfile reuse set database ORA9C MAXINS... File create/cloneDBCreation.log has some more errors, which are also reported by the dbca UI:
Create controlfile reuse set database ORA9C *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01565: error in identifying file
'/home/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/ORA9C/DATA1.ORA'
ORA-27047: unable to read the header block of file Linux Error: 92: Protocol not available

Is this a version mismatch issue? OS mismatch issue? Appreciate any help.

The command that triggers this seems to be the following (in the alert file):

Create controlfile reuse set database ORA9C MAXINSTANCES 1
MAXLOGHISTORY 1
MAXLOGFILES 50
MAXLOGMEMBERS 5
MAXDATAFILES 100
