That's because exp writes messages on standard error, not on the standard input.

Try:

exp ${ora_user}/${ora_pass} FILE=/tmp/test.exp LOG=/tmp/test.exp.log \   DIRECT=Y FULL=Y STATISTICS=NONE 2>/dev/null

I don't think this is possible. You have to grep through /tmp/test.exp.log and search for errors.
