IDES system copy ..error during IMPORT_ABAP..unable to create indexes

Question

Hi all,
I am doing a IDES system copy. I ran the report SMIGR_CREATE_DLL , the export activities have been completed successfully as well on the source system. Now on the target system, during the import, I am getting the following error in the log file SAPDFACT.log.
(DB) ERROR: DDL statement failed
(CREATE  INDEX "/BI0/E0RSTT_C06~P" ON "/BI0/E0RSTT_C06" ( "KEY_0RSTT_C06P" , "KEY_0RSTT_C06T" , "KEY_0RSTT_C06U" , "KEY_0RSTT_C061" , "KEY_0RSTT_C062" , "KEY_0RSTT_C063" , "KEY_0RSTT_C064" , "KEY_0RSTT_C065" , "KEY_0RSTT_C066" , "KEY_0RSTT_C067" , "KEY_0RSTT_C068"  ) TABLESPACE PSAPSR3 STORAGE (INITIAL 65536 NEXT 0000002560K MINEXTENTS 0000000001 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645 PCTINCREASE 0 ) NOLOGGING COMPUTE STATISTICS )
DbSlExecute: rc = 99
  (SQL error 1408)
  error message returned by DbSl:
ORA-01408: such column list already indexed
(DB) INFO: disconnected from DB
The owner for this table is SAPSR3. Some oracle forums suggested to drop the index before recreating it. But when i do "drop index SAPSR3."/BI0/E0RSTT_C06~P..it says.."the specified index does not exist". But when I go to recreate this index, it doesn get created successfully. After that when I re-run the import, it again fails. Suprisingly..now if i go to check if this index is present thru a sql querry:
select owner, object_name, object_type from dba_objects where object_name='SAPSR3."/BI0/E0RSTT_C06~P"', it tells "no rows selected". This is happening everytime, I create an index, where it gets created successfully, and the import again fails with the same error in SAPDFACT.log.
I found an SAP note 885441 named..common errors during migration..although mine isnt a migration..my both source and destination are Red hat 64 bit platform.
The note 1st asks to download the latest R3load..which I did and extracted in the kernel directory of the source..then it also asked to edit the .TSK file..in my case..SAPDFACT.TSK..where the lines:
I /BIC/E<Cubename>~<index> C err
to  I /BIC/E<Cubename>~<index> C ign..
I did that..this time..the import again fails..but in the SAPDFACT.log..it complains about some other index..n the same gets generated in the .TSK file as well..the earlier index error is not again generated.
I am not sure..what is going wrong..my export went through successfully.i have done the prep steps for export as well..before that i ran the SMIGR_CREATE_DLL report as well..
Any inputs are highly appreciated..
Thanks,
Akshay
