This is getting more hairy, First, I think that all redirects sent using http-status will be covered by proxyPassReverse.
Your next step is to fix any URL produced within the XWiki page. I thought proxyHost would help fixing that (that's part of server.xml, see https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/http.html#Proxy_Support) but I think XWiki doesn't use much of getServerName. Might still be useful for mails or such (there, you need the host-name). For any request to /atriumkm/ you could add another proxy rule but this makes duplicates which is inelegant (the resource page would have two accessible URLs). I think that xwiki.webapppath= (not commented out, this will make the web-app be considered to be "/") in xwiki.cfg might be your friend. It's part of the shortURLs strand (which would be your next step?).
