I'm assuming the Oracle directory IMP you created in database 'orcl11204' points to "d:\ora11g204\imp\" based on the output.

Things to check/note:

1) That file definitely is there ? Don't forget that the import is looking for the file d:\ora11g204\imp\tst02.dmp on the *database server* where 'orcl11204' resides, *not* where you are running the impdp from (just in case you are running it on another machine).

2) The file will be opened by the software owner that oracle is installed as, so the file permissions must allow the oracle database process to see it.
