simulate_light_emission with issue on observatory altitude?

Running

results in a log file entry by sim_telarray of

Warning: problematic transmission between telescope and observation level.
Evaluation was between observation layer at 2150.000000 m a.s.l.
and 0.000000 m above, plus 16.000000 m in the telescope.
Lookup in transmission table in wavelength range from 200 to 1000 nm,
   altitude range from 2.156000 to 100.000000 km a.s.l.,
   for wavelength 400 nm from 2.150000 km a.s.l., for airmass factor 1.000000
Starting altitude of 2.150000 km is out of range (2.156000 to 100.000000 km).
This is either an underground installation or the wrong transmission table.
At 400 nm we get a transm. of 0.000000 between tel. and obs.lev., and 0.000000 inside tel.
Your transmission table might not be appropriate for the given site.
We are ignoring this problematic part now but you should fix your set-up.

Assume that this is an issue with elevations?

Yes, looks like the input in CORSIKA is for a telescope with z=0. There's also a warning about shower simulations are for 2150 m rather than 2156 m, though I can't tell from the configuration file where the former comes from. @tobiaskleiner, do you know why CORSIKA is set for z=0?

The xyzls light emission application sets the observation level to 2150 by default. We could set this to the telescope height or we could see if we add the option in the file to accept the telescope positions (I realized now that there is also the option to accept a telpos-file, which could be generated on the fly with the coordinates of the telescope needed).
