The way to do this is to use the "indexfile" option of import. It creates the scripts for all tables (rem'd out) and indexes in the export file. Edit the resulting file; it contains a few syntactical errors: remove the quotes around the tablespace specifiers (and change them to "index" while you're at it) and replace the "connect" lines with correct commands (for running in SQL*Plus). Then import, using Indexes=N, then run the indexfile script.

A final note - INDEX is a reserved word, may want to call the tablespace INDEXES. Reply to kml_at_cellar.org if you need any followup.
