Before you import, precreate the tablespaces on your Linux server. It does not matter where you create the tablespaces, just create them with the same tablespace name. When you perform a full import (FULL=Y), Oracle will skip over the CREATE TABLESPACE commands since those tablespaces already exist. The rest of your import will proceed normally.
