It looks like you have compatible set to 8.1.0.0 and are using a 9i database feature(lob retention) and hence the issue. Either you need to reset the compatible parameter to 9.2.0.0 or remove the new database changes that are not supported in 8.1 ,if you want to operate the 9i database with 8.1 compatibility.
