This is all the customer has provided so far. Let me know if you guys need more info.

Running "npm install -g titanium alloy" from the command line when ~/tmp file already exists causes the same error, so this is more of a current requirement for how our npm packages are installed. Moving to platform.

I cannot reproduce with NPM 3. Must have been an NPM 1 bug.

Closing ticket with reference to the previous comments.
