Hi Charlie,
I showed Bill Lockman how to use csc.simul.trf, so he can maybe assist 
with any local issues.

Briefly:
1) source the following script
setenv ATLAS_TRFS /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/atlas/releases/11.0.41
setenv T_RELEASE  11.0.41
setenv T_INCPATH  
$ATLAS_TRFS/JobTransforms/JobTransforms-11-00-41-06/include
setenv T_ATLASMYSQLSERVER  osgserv04.slac.stanford.edu
addpath PATH $ATLAS_TRFS/JobTransforms/JobTransforms-11-00-41-06/share/

2) then you should be able to run csc.simul.trf
$ csc.simul.trf
USAGE:   csc.simul.trf  <infilename>  <outfilename>  <nevt>  <skip>  
<random seed>

         <infilename> .... name of input file (full path)
         <hitfilename> ... local name of output hits file
         <rdofilename> ... local name of output rdos file
         <nevt> .......... number of output events to be processed
         <skip> .......... number of input events to be skipped
         <random seed> ... random seed for this job
         <job type> ...... optional: 1) AtlasG4 2) Digit 3) 
AtlasG4+Digit (default) 4-6) like 1-3) with calib hits

EXAMPLE: csc.simul.trf  Evgen.pool.root  Hits.pool.root  100  0  1234

There will no doubt be some issues that require the attention of locals. For example, outbound connections from worker nodes to CERN is a continuing issue. We will need help setting up a proxy. Who should we contact about this?
