If you successfully deleted the mnesia DBs then the schema integrity 
check cannot fail, as there is no database to check! Where do you set 
the RABBITMQ_MNESIA_BASE and/or RABBITMQ_MNESIA_DIR for the individual 
nodes?

I strongly suspect the latter! ;)

Can you confirm the database directory deletion by running `ls -la` 
afterwards to make sure everything's gone, and then try starting up a 
single node.
