restore script required cleaning dbrm files on pm1 of fresh install

Did a backup of 2um3pm non root. Blew instances away and created fresh install on new instances. Now restore to this instance complains:

[2018-12-15 05:08:27] Restore Status: Failed

Clearing:
rm -rf mariadb/columnstore/data*/data1/systemFiles/dbrm/*

solved this but seems like a restore should just work on a fresh install? Also even if it's not its kind of clunky to make users go through a gazillion steps on each node to do a restore (this has to be balanced against accidental restore of course).
