Did you add a singularity service to your config.scm?  That should handle d=
eclaring the helper programs as setuid, and creating the container mount di=
rectory in /var/singularity/mnt (see "Miscellaneous Services" in the manual=
).  You'll add the service via, e.g.:

  (operating-system
    ;; ...
    (services
      (cons (service singularity-service-type)
            %base-services)))
