Configuration Wizard Database Load Fails

I am trying to create a domain on WL Server 10.0 using the configuration wizard.
After I configure the JDBC Data Sources and sucessfully test all connections,
the 'Running the Scripts' step fails when trying to perform an insert into the
PF_MARKUP_XML table. For some reason this table is not being created. I started
with a brand new tablespace and schema (i.e., no existing db objects).  No
matter what, the conditional is evaluated to false ( @condition:notExists
table="PF_MARKUP_XML" ) in the pf9_create_tables.sql file, so the
table is never created. 

I can get the database to complete the load by commenting out the conditional
statement, but not sure if this is an adequate solution and dont know if any
other dependencies will be broken by doing this.
