Import tablespace failed due to different release version for 10g

Question

I try to exp tablespaces from 10.2.0.2 (Enterprise Edition, UNIX) to our test server 10.2.0.1 (express eidtion, linux) with transportable tablespace, when import the tablespaces, get the following error:
Export file created by EXPORT:V10.02.01 via conventional path

I have done the transportable tablespace between 2 test servers before, which are both on the 10.2.0.1. It's done sucessfully at the same target server (LINUX, XE edition). So this is the 1st time I get into this problem. Does anyone know that I can have the express edition upgrade/apply patches so that it will be on 10.2.0.2? Or is there anything I can try to import the tablespace from 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.1?
Thanks,

Due to no patchset for XE edition, I try to import the tablespace to another LINUX server with EE edition, which is 10.2.0.2, I thought I should be ok for this time. But I get the same error again. I have applied the patches set for 10.2.0.2, and I have followed all steps in the poststeps. Do I miss somthing? Why it still mention it's 10.2.0.1. Thanks for your help. I attached the output here:

Here is the imp -help output (top lines), it looks like the 10.2.0.2 version:
