The intent here was to be able to extend the test script to run against
multiple databases, one at a time
in a single run. I guess we could restructure this to provide a set of
database specific property files and use those as the triggers to determine
which databases the tests are run against. Do you want me to do this
restructuring?

Problem with not having a working Linux installtion :-(

Fixing this fully is non-trivial since you basically need to know what you
installed there the last time you put things in it. It is problems like this
that drive the need for proper installer programs. Perhaps the temporary fix
is to not try and remove our previous stuff automatically.
