Unable to drop USERS tablespace.

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to drop USERS tablespace and facing below error.
PLATFORM:
OS: Linux Ubuntu 9.04 LTS
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE     10.2.0.1.0     Production
TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
PROBLEM:
SQL> drop tablespace users including contents and datafiles cascade constraints;
drop tablespace users including contents and datafiles cascade constraints
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-24005: must use DBMS_AQADM.DROP_QUEUE_TABLE to drop queue tables
When I see, dba_queue_tables...
SQL> select owner, queue_table, object_type from dba_queue_tables;
OWNER               QUEUE_TABLE          OBJECT_TYPE
SYS               ALERT_QT           SYS.ALERT_TYPE

SYSMAN               MGMT_NOTIFY_QTABLE     SYSMAN.MGMT_NOTIFY_NOTIFICATION
SYSTEM               DEF$_AQCALL
SYSTEM               DEF$_AQERROR
11 rows selected.
Also, there are no tables in USERS tablespace now, as I've moved all to other tablespace.
SQL> select count(*) from dba_tables where tablespace_name='USERS';
COUNT(*)
     0
USERS tablespace is not permanent tablespace as I've changed it to some other, still the problem.
SQL> select property_name, property_value from database_properties where PROPERTY_NAME = 'DEFAULT_PERMANENT_TABLESPACE'
PROPERTY_NAME          PROPERTY_VALUE
DEFAULT_PERMANENT_TABLESPACE DEV
Can you please help me drop the USERS tablespace.
