EXP to Tape Device ?

I am running Oracle 7.1.3.2 on a VAX Alpha 6.1 OS. Our database is too big to export to a file ( > 4.5 G ) on disk so I was trying to run the following commands in a com file.

$ mount/foreign tape:
$ exp full=Y file=tape:expdat.dmp

I keep getting a failure to open file error on the expdat.dmp file. I took these 2 lines right out of the server utilities manual except for the redirection to the tape device. Am I missing something obvious ?

Thanks in advance,
Cliff
