"Only a DBA can import a file exported by another DBA" error

I'm getting these errors: "Export file created by EXPORT:V09.02.00 via direct path, IMP-00013: only a DBA can import a file exported by another DBA, IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully."

I have .dmp file in path /home/vikas on Linux. I want to import this in the Oracle database. To do this I have created a user by doing sqlplus@ system/manager 
SQL>create user <user> identified by <passwd> 
default tablespace users temporary tablespace temp;

User Created

SQL>grant connect to <user>;

grant success
Now when I am trying to import file by giving the command: 
SQL>imp <user>/<passwd> file=/home/vikas/<filename.dmp>;
It's giving me the error: 
Export file created by EXPORT:V09.02.00 via direct path
IMP-00013: only a DBA can import a file exported by another DBA
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
I am using RedHat Linux EL3 and Oracle 9i.
As the error message says, only a user with the DBA role can import a file exported by a user who has the DBA role. Grant DBA to the user and then try the import again. If you do not need the DBA role, then revoke it after the import is done.
