IMP.EXE not working in 11gR2 as it did in previous versions

Question

I am trying to restore a database which was backed up using EXP.EXE on Oracle 10g to a new Oracle 11gR2 instance.
I was having trouble with the tablespaces at first and finally gave the user unlimited quota on the data and index tablespaces. The scripted commands used to create the user used to accomplish this, but apparently this doesn't work in 11gR2 and I had to do it one at a time through the database management web page.
Once I got past this, I still had trouble because of a reporting user granted access to the original database did not exist in my new instance. This was never a problem in earlier versions and it used to restore the database and just allow those grants to fail. I created the reporting user in my new instance and now IMP.EXE just fails after restoring the sequences and one table (of many) with no errors output to the console.
What needs to be done to get IMP.EXE to behave like it did in previous versions? Why is it failing after restoring the first table?
If it makes a difference, the OS is Win7 x64.

Answer 1

Here is the output from the console. As you can see, I am using the log parameter, but the log file is empty. IMP.EXE is crashing and not writing anything to the log file. I have included the information from the application log as well. I couldn't find anything helpful there. EXPORTBKP is a user we create specifically for the backup on restore of databases through a canned script we created. I have included the statemements used to create that user after the application log entry. This user is created logged in as SYS as SYSDBA.
Typical command used to create the backup:
EXP.EXE EXPORTBKP/MARTIAL FILE=database.dmp LOG=temp.log COMPRESS=Y OWNER=SRC_DB CONSISTENT=N DIRECT=Y STATISTICS=NONE
Command used to restore the database:
IMP.EXE EXPORTBKP/MARTIAL COMMIT=Y BUFFER=100000 FILE=database.dmp LOG=temp.log
FROMUSER=SRC_DB TOUSER=DEST_DB
Output from IMP.EXE:

Hopefully someone can see something that I am not and we can resolve this.
