Paula,
Was the tablespace read-only? 
Those weired MISSING... names refer to data files in those tablspaces. 
Do you have a controlfile trace? Look in there to see what is what.. 
Here is what I see in the CF trace for my read-only tablespace:

# Files in read-only tablespaces are now named.
ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE 'MISSING00002'
  TO '/u07/oradata/DBCT/test_01.dbf';
# Online the files in read-only tablespaces.
ALTER TABLESPACE "TEST" ONLINE;
# No tempfile entries found to add.
#

HTH,
