I don't know if you found a solution, but this is what worked for me on the xampp version of 1.8.2, I will try this on my production server - 'fools rush in.....' and all that! And that's another thing, I've been using Moodle for a little over a year and still have HUGE gaps in my knowledge and I have no idea about coding, programming, languages etc. So no guarantees or suggestions that this is the right answer!
Going into '\moodle\course\format\topics\config.php' in each of the course formats I was able to define exactly which blocks I wanted to see on the course pages.
I then copied the resetblocks.php script into the moodle folder (the one that contains 'config.php & config-dist.php) copying it anywhere else does not work; I know, I tried it.
Run the script - in Moodle 1.8.2 the blocks on the front page are reset to their default, but the course pages are reset to the options set in the config.php file.

The table mdl_block_instance holds information for the blocks displayed for a course where pageid=courseid. If you look at the table you'll probably get a better understanding of how it works than if I explain it but to reset blocks for a course just remove the entries for that course from the ml_block_instance table.
Using
DELETE FROM `mdl_block_instance` WHERE `pageid` = n;
worked fine for both a single courseid
or a range of courseids.
I've got the default blocks set using site wide sticky blocks (using moodle 1.82+) so once i removed the entried in mdl_blocks_instance my preferred blocks were present (without any duplicates etc).
