Pipe the verbose output to a logfile (-y path-to-a-textfile-that-does-not-exist) to make it easier to figure out which table is giving the grief.

If it is a small table, you could create a new table with exactly the same DDL and pump the data from one to the other until you hit the record that is causing the problem.

However, considering that the -v[erify] text appears *after* something has been written, don't overlook the poss. that it's the *next* table that has a problem...
