AUTOEXTEND is for datafiles, not tablespaces. And it is set to NO for all datafiles.

tablespaces are created with a sh script (here snipped a lot as 168 tablesspaces are created!) :

ORACLE_SID=MYSID
export ORACLE_SID

TS_TRACE_KEY_VALUE_DATA=/home/oracle/oracle9i/oradata/MYSID SZ_VAL_KEY_02=170M sqlplus system/system <<!
spool cr_tablespace_data.log
create tablespace TRACE_TS_FEVRIER datafile '$TS_TRACE_KEY_VALUE_DATA/ TRACE_FEVRIER.dbf' size $SZ_VAL_KEY_02;
...

spool off
