You could write a script that always check permissions and put them back or
barks if there is an issue before running the dm scripts. A hack if that is
the main issue not too hard to automate and implement. I have had to play
with DM in 11.2.0.2 lately and it is far from intuitive or impressive.
There is a business opportunity here for a decent software developer I am
sure.
