Removing *all* status files is rather severe overkill, sort of like
'rm -rf /' because you are running low on disk space.  All you need
is the one for the system that's giving problems.  Also, HDB doesn't
seem to have a MAXCALLS feature.  Instead, it gradually increases
the time before the next retry is made, but never seems to give up
entirely.
