I posted this on page 1.

OWNER SYNONYM_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
TABLE_OWNER TABLE_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
DB_LINK
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PUBLIC DBMS_MVIEW
SYS DBMS_SNAPSHOT


It was pointing to DBMS_SNAPSHOT - it just was not working properly.

When I created a test synonym and it invoked the DBMS_SNAPSHOT I knew I had to recreate DBMS_MVIEW.
