How to enable direct path load with the forall insert construct in 11.2.0.2?

 I am loading a large table (106 million rows) from scratch on 11.2.0.2. The table is a good candidate for direct path load (it is only loaded, then read, no other dml), no constraints except a primary key.

The code that loads the table is the following

 forall Ix in indices of Recs save exceptions
          insert  into  Bas_job
               values Recs (Ix);

In 11.2 there is a new hint APPEND_VALUES that is supposed to enable direct path load when using the insert ... values construct. When I apply this hint to the above code, it fails with

ORA-38910: BATCH ERROR mode is not supported for this operation.
