This is yours:
Checking for CVMFS
CVMFS is installed
OS:cat: /etc/redhat-release: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
This is not SLC6, need to run with Singularity....
Checking Singularity...
Singularity is installed

This is when SL69:
Checking for CVMFS
CVMFS is installed
OS:Scientific Linux release 6.10 (Carbon)
This is SLC or CentOS release 6, run the atlas job without Singularity

I don't run SLC6, so this lines are important:

This is not SLC6, need to run with Singularity....
Checking Singularity...
Singularity is installed

See the logfiles from my successful tasks.

Beside that CVMFS- or Singularity-errors would have stopped the task after a few seconds.
This tasks had a runtime of a bit more than 10 minutes.

We were running a few ATLAS tasks with a new wrapper script last week and it seems there is a bug in it. One of the expected files used by the tasks was not present when the task started so it failed over to downloading it from pandaserver.cern.ch:25085 and I suppose you have a firewall blocking that server or port number. We will fix this bug for the next tasks.
