Hi,
There are several possible options. We use the same principale in our company, although both are OLTP.
Correct steps:
1. Create database link
2. Create MV log on the source side table (in your case table 1)
3. Create MV on the 2nd database with the create command (in the select stmts part ... from tbl1@rm db link
4. Do a full refresh of the materialized view
5. From now on you will be able to do fast refresh. One full refresh is required as oracle needs to keep track of the last changes.

If not, try posting the ORA error you are getting. Also make sure that you do not have network issues, so test the database link connectivity before trying to create mv (by doing select from dual@db link)
