RE: export & import FULL =Y

Just drop the existing users & schemas in dev with the DROP USER . . . CASCADE command - here is a query that will generate the script to drop all users for you other than the exceptions in the IN list:  

select 'drop user ' || username || ' cascade;' from dba_users where username not in
('SYS','SYSTEM','OUTLN','DBSNMP','DIP','TSMSYS');   Also, you'll probably want to add direct=y to your exp command - it will most likely make it MUCH faster.
