HELP! - Corrupted EXPort file

I have just run into a problem that Oracle support has been unable to help me resolve:

An export file was created using RDBMS 5.1.22, and subsequently copied to tape. Now when we try to import the file, we get a "Required character set conversion not supported" immediately after specifying the filename.

I tried importing into a V. 6 database with the same result (IMP-00016 is the error message).

The system is VAX/VMS 5.4-3. The structure of the dump file is fixed format, 4096 byte records which is as it should be.

Needless to say, we would REALLY like to get this data back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
