Hi Dale,
Thanks for the suggestion. This works for me if I stop and start
mnesia in the case of a fresh startup.

I needed to add Node = node() and put the bound variable in the
pattern to get it to compile:
{_, Node} -> {exists, Tbls};

mnesia:stop(),
mnesia:create_schema(Nodes),
mnesia:start(),
%% create tables

Again, thanks. This seems to help. Since this code is in an OTP
application, mnesia must be started before my app can start.
Rebooting mnesia seems a bit strange, but it will only happen if the
schema is not initialized and seems better than requiring a separate
script to get run for the first start.
