Symptoms

Trying to do a DataPump export to a directory created on null device and getting errors like the following example:

1) DataPump directory was created like below:

SQL> Create directory datapump as '/oracle/GP2/saptrace/datapump';
SQL> GRANT read, write ON datapump TO system;

export.dmp is a symbolic link to null device:

/oracle/GP2/saptrace/datapump/exportdp.dmp -> /dev/null


2) Trying to export to that directory gives errors like:
