Xwiki tries to create new db on server restart

The first time I started my server with an empty DB, meaning no tables no data with hibernate.show_sql = true I see all all the create statements and the db is populated with tables and indexes, all good. Every time after that when I stop and start my server catalina.out shows no errors. In the browser I load xwiki main page and I see all of the create statements again with the appropriate error message table all ready exists. I have set wiki.createDatabase=false in the xwiki.properties file but it does not make any difference. Also when the main does try to show up the Admin screens appear like it is the first time the xwiki was run. Click through the Admin pages and get to main page and all my data is there no problems xwiki looks good.
What do I need to configure to stop table creation on start up.
Thanks
