Missing grant with full export/full import.

Question

We have the following problem which is unexplained:
Using Oracle 9.0.1.4 we full export a database and we import it in full mode in another database which is also running Oracle 9.0.1.4. The database has 1 application schema which owns a lot of PL/SQL object packages and triggers.
In the source database, all objects are valid and schema owner has SELECT privileges on V$SESSION and execute permission on DBMS_ALERT and DBMS_PIPE.
I cannot tell you if these privileges have been granted directly or with a role.
In the target database, package bodys and triggers using V$SESSION and DBMS_ALERT/DBMS_PIPE are invalid because schema owner has not the corresponding privileges.
Schema owner already existed in the target database. Is it normal than the corresponding privileges have not been imported ?
I cannot give you the exp/imp command lines but I'm sure full export/full import have been run (I've checked the import log).
Thanks.

See MetaLink Note:97902.1
When performing a full export of a database, both objects belonging to SYS and object privileges on SYS's objects (e.g. admin views such as DBA_SEGMENTS, etc.) are not exported.
To generate the missing privileges you can use the follwing script
Connect to the original database (the one full export was done from) as SYSTEM using sqlplus and run this script:
set hea off
set pagesize 0
set feedback off
spool objs_upg.sql
select 'grant '||privilege||' on '||owner||'.'||
table_name||' to '||grantee||' '||
decode(grantable,'YES','WITH Grant option')||';'
from dba_tab_privs
where owner = 'SYS'
select 'grant '||privilege||' ('||column_name||') '||
' on '||owner||'.'||table_name||' to '||grantee||' '||
decode(grantable,'YES','WITH Grant option')||';'
from dba_col_privs
where owner = 'SYS'
spool off
