It didn't seem to like the existing content which was bootstrapped from a different model.

Luckily this was just a test installation with content that didn't matter. I changed strategies away from using the the java import CLI and towards bootstrapping with the ACP archive. (via using restore-context.xml - see the wiki.) I "reset" my installation by deleting my alf_data folder and dropping the alfresco database entirely from MySQL. Starting up the server bootstrapped the acp archives properly.

Good luck!
