The mapping tool is designed to avoid using existing tables and columns when mapping previously-unmapped portions of your object model. Apparently you're deleting the mapping file periodically, so every run the tool thinks the model is unmapped -- how could it know otherwise? So either start over and stop deleting your mapping file all the time, or if you want the table to be named something specific, just stick the "table='XXX'" attribute on the <class> element in your package.jdo file. The tool will see the mapping instruction and carry it over to the mapping file. I believe the docs cover all this in more detail.
