There were some fixes done recently in https://github.com/baudehlo/node-fs-ext
Can you check with and without it installed (it is an optional dependency) and also if does pull in the latest version?

For the record this code doesn't work anymore https://github.com/baudehlo/node-fs-ext/blob/master/fs-ext.js#L139-L146

I have a PR pending to fix this in ipfs-repo.
