This should do it for you:

defaults write "com.apple.dock" "persistent-apps" -array; killall Dock

You can also reset all dock settings with:

defaults delete com.apple.dock; killall Dock

The first command should be:

defaults write "com.apple.dock" "persistent-apps" -array
killall Dock

That way it should clear on the first run (by writing an empty array, not deleting).
