ORA-2002 : error while writing to audit trail

Question

Hi all ,
I am oracle 11g and on SPARC OS.
I enabled audit in my database by setting the parameter audit_trail=DB and then i restarted my instance.
On doing so the database started but whenever i am trying to connect using pl/sql developer , i am getting the following list of errors :
ORA-00604 : error occured at recursive SQL level 1
ora-00904 : "DBID" invalid identifier
Ora-02002 : error while writing to audit trail
ORA-00604 : error occured at recursive SQL level 1
ora-00904 : "DBID" invalid identifier
I checked on the net for ora-02002 and increased the size of the system tablespace from 750 M to 1000M.
My system tablespace is dictionary managed.
bounced the database also , but still getting the same errors.
please help
regards

PRIV$USED                                          NUMBER
SESSIONCPU                                         NUMBERsince i took over the database , no one did anything ... i only truncated the aud$ table today.
But while going through the files i came across a SQL file that had this content :
more move_audit.sql
create table system.aud$
tablespace AUD_TSP
as select * from aud$;
create index system.i_aud1 on system.aud$(sessionid, ses$tid);
rename aud$ to aud$_temp;
create view aud$ as
select * from system.aud$;
connect system/XXXXX
grant all on aud$ to sys with grant option;
grant delete on aud$ to delete_catalog_role;Now I am not sure what has happened and who has done what,but when i checked on TOAD, system tablespace had aud$ table and there was no table in tablespace AUD_TSP.
thanks and regards
