Mark,

One caveat about using EXPORT for TDP data:

I don't remember the beginning of this thread, if you said WHY you are
trying to do export/import of TDP data, or which TDP it is.
Your need to be conscious of how the TDP works, and where you are going with
the data, to decide whether this is going to work for you.

For example,
The TDP for Oracle works through the Oracle RMAN catalog.  Other TDP's work
other ways.  You have to take into account what is expected when you do the
restore.

For example, if you used EXPORT to take the TSM TDP filespace to a DR site,
and IMPORTed the data back to your TSM server at the DR site, that would not
be sufficient to enable you to restore.  You would also need to have a valid
RMAN catalog for the TDP to connect to.  Et. cetera.

Plan, plan, plan.
Test, test, test.
