It looks like you run ./utils/setup.php --import-data on this DB which
unfortunally destroyed the data that you had already imported. So, you
will have to start over again.

Run ./utils/setup.php --all ... with the first file, then 
./utils/update --import-file with any further osm files (these must
be in xml format, not in pbf) and finally ./utils/update --index.
