Moving a schema

Question

I am attempting to move a schema called "App" from one Oracle server to a completely separate Oracle server. It's a basic production/test environment where we need to test on production data. I've looked at the data pump functionality and I believe I've exported successfully based on the EXPDAT.log file but I can't seem to import it into the other server.
I'm very new to the oracle environment (nothing like flying by the seat of your pants) but I can't imagine it should be this difficult.
I have tried to import the entire database, schema and even a single table and they all continue to fail.
Here is a copy of the output from EM:
ORA-01403: no data found ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.MGMT_JOB_ENGINE", line 5698 ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.MGMT_JOB_ENGINE", line 7706 ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.MGMT_JOB_ENGINE", line 8493 ORA-01403: no data found ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.MGMT_JOBS", line 273 ORA-06512: at "SYSMAN.MGMT_JOBS", line 86 ORA-06512: at line 1
Earlier I was getting a succeeded but no data was actually being imported due to failure... un fortunately I can't even get that far now.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

tsmeed,
If possible post your datapump export /import job and here i am posting working example for export/import with datapump. Make sure both the source and target uses have right privs to do so (EXP_FULL_DATABASE/IMP_FULL_DATABASE).
Replace MYSCHEMANAME=by your schema name
declare
  h1   NUMBER;
begin
  begin
      h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'EXPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'MYSCHEMA', version => 'COMPATIBLE');
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.set_parallel(handle => h1, degree => 1);
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => h1, filename => 'MY_SCHEMA_EXPORT.log', directory => 'EXPORT_DIR', filetype => 3);
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'KEEP_MASTER', value => 0);
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.metadata_filter(handle => h1, name => 'SCHEMA_EXPR', value => 'IN(''MYSCHEMANAME'')');
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => h1, filename => 'myschema_export.dmp', directory => 'EXPORT_DIR', filetype => 1);
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'INCLUDE_METADATA', value => 1);
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'DATA_ACCESS_METHOD', value => 'AUTOMATIC');
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'ESTIMATE', value => 'BLOCKS');
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.start_job(handle => h1, skip_current => 0, abort_step => 0);
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.detach(handle => h1);
  end;
end;
/My import job and replace MYSCHEMANAME by your schema name.
declare
h1   NUMBER;
begin
  begin
      h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'IMPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'MYIMPORT', version => 'COMPATIBLE');
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.set_parallel(handle => h1, degree => 1);
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => h1, filename => 'IMPORT.LOG', directory => 'EXPORT_DIR', filetype => 3);
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'KEEP_MASTER', value => 0);
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => h1, filename => 'myschema_export.dmp', directory => 'EXPORT_DIR', filetype => 1);
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.metadata_filter(handle => h1, name => 'SCHEMA_EXPR', value => 'IN(''MYSCHEMANAME'')');
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'DATA_ACCESS_METHOD', value => 'AUTOMATIC');
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'INCLUDE_METADATA', value => 1);
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION', value => 'TRUNCATE');
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.set_parameter(handle => h1, name => 'SKIP_UNUSABLE_INDEXES', value => 0);
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.start_job(handle => h1, skip_current => 0, abort_step => 0);
  end;
  begin
     dbms_datapump.detach(handle => h1);
  end;
end;
