py:inputfilepeeker   error unable to build inputfilesummary from any of the specified input files. there is probably a problem.

so two problems : 
 - inputfilepeeker is called within the event loop which feels very wrong
 - py:inputfilepeeker warning unable to open file [rdo.pool.root] indicate the athenacommon.filesinput is wrongly set (but it could be a red herring caused by the first problem)
