Hello Kyle, et al.,
The handling of input files via the lcsim steering file is
documented at:

You can get this functionality if you are willing to modify your steering file
to use the "fileRegExp" construct, viz.

Subject: Re: LCSim with Multiple Inputs / Error
The production .lcsim files mostly don't have <inputFiles> because we wanted to avoid people needing to modify their .lcsim files; we use -i instead. So all the examples under https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/hpsg/Basic+Use+of+hps-java
have "-i file.slcio" in them. You can have multiple input files if you use "-i file1.slcio -i file2.slcio" and so on. (This doesn't work with "-i *.slcio" and it would be nice if it did, but oh well.)
I've seen that SLIC error. It worries me too, and it's probably something in my geometry. (If it's any consolation, the -v3 geometry is worse.) I'd use the files anyway since 1 bad event out of a million is probably not going to kill your analysis. You should make sure the files have the right number of events (i.e. whether SLIC crashed completely or just kept going with the rest of the events).
