The Confluence instructions seem to be out of date: ilcinstall pulls in 
and installs the LCDD schemas locally, so there's no need to download 
those, but you do need to download the GDML schemas (I imagine it would 
make sense for ilcinstall to do this as well, but it doesn't seem to).

So download all the .xsd files under 
http://www.lcsim.org/schemas/gdml/1.0/ into a local directory, then set 
GDML_SCHEMA_DIR to point to this directory. This is all I need to do to 
get slic running behind the JLab firewall.

It writes the output log files (like the ones I sent previously) to the same driver (though a different folder), so it does seem to be able to read/write to said drive. Also, the schema folder has read/execute permissions for all user groups, so there shouldn't be any permission issues. The schema files themselves only had read access for all user groups. I gave execute access to all user groups for these as well, but this does not stop the errors. I'm fairly certain that the batch system is running the processes as me anyway, though, since it can write to an output folder which only I have write access for.

I have attached a sample script that gets passed to the batch system as well as the stdout and stderr that came from running it. The variable GDML_SCHEMA_DIR correctly resolves as "/net/data/taro/kylem/schema/" which contains all of the XSD files.

The individual nodes in the cluster do not have access to the internet, and this renders SLIC unable to access a file "http://www.lcsim.org/schemas/lcdd/1.0/lcdd.xsd" and subsequently terminate. Is there a means by which I can get SLIC to not require an internet connection to run?
