Goldengate: XMLType abending replicat

Question

Hi,
we are setting up a GG replication between a Oracle 10g and 11g Db.
Replication is setup and works fine, testing it with simple operations on tables looks fine.
We are using the clasical replications, and we are replicating one complete schema. No strange mappings, just simple replication from one Db, 1 to 1, to the second DB.
But then we run into a problem: We have some tables that contain XMLTYPE. On the extract and Pump side it seems to work, but the Replicat is abending when encountering one of those tables.
Getting the error:
2012-12-19 09:29:02 WARNING OGG-01003 Oracle GoldenGate Delivery for Oracle, rsc_ddl1.prm: Repositioning to rba 37853107 in seqno 0.
2012-12-19 09:29:02 INFO OGG-01020 Oracle GoldenGate Delivery for Oracle, rsc_ddl1.prm: Processed extract process RESTART_ABEND record at seq 0, rba 38014575 (aborted 478 records).
2012-12-19 09:29:03 ERROR OGG-00665 Oracle GoldenGate Delivery for Oracle, rsc_ddl1.prm: OCI Error getting OCI_ATTR_NAME for UDT SYS.XMLTYPE (status = 24328-ORA-24328: UnzulÌssiger Attributwert), SQL<Not available>.
2012-12-19 09:29:03 ERROR OGG-01668 Oracle GoldenGate Delivery for Oracle, rsc_ddl1.prm: PROCESS ABENDING.
This is the table actually causing the error as per logdump:
CREATE TABLE SOMETABLENAME
DATECREATED DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE,
DATECOMPLETED DATE,
CLIENTORDERID NUMBER,
ORDERTYPE VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
BUSINESSEVENT VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
CREATEDBY VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
COMORDERTBLID NUMBER(15,5),
OBJECTID NUMBER(15,5),
OBJECTTYPE VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
REVISION NUMBER(15,5),
I_XML_PAYLOAD SYS.XMLTYPE,
SUPPLEMENTAL LOG GROUP GGS_2209838 (COMORDERTBLID) ALWAYS
Looks like the issue is with SYS.XMLTYPE.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thank you very much.

Hi Annamalai,
1.
Source DB:
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production

TNS for HPUX: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production

Dest Db:

TNS for HPUX: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
GG has the same version on both sides:
Oracle GoldenGate Delivery for Oracle
Version 11.2.1.0.1 OGGCORE_11.2.1.0.1_PLATFORMS_120423.0230
2:
Source:
VERSION STATUS
Oracle XML Database
10.2.0.4.0 VALID
destination:
this is strange, I do not get any output if I run that command onthe destination Db.
So is this XDb maybe the problem?
