Add this here:

\override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#t #t #t)

And it will work for any \set Score.currentBarNumber greater than 1.   
Take a look at section 1.2.5.2 of the Notation Reference for more.   
You may have to use a markup if you really want to print bar number 1,  
which looks as if it never prints, wherever it appears (try setting  
currentBarNumber to -1 at any point in the score).
