Mike, While not necessary, it would be a good idea to precreate the tablespaces. Else, for a clean import the first time, you would need to ensure that the directory structure for the datafiles exists, you have the permissions to create files at the OS level, ensure that files dont already exist (avoid Destroy=Y), et all. Else, you might find yourself running the import, shouting "crap", fixing and re-running the import.
