Hiya @popey,
I'm not sure the dependencies used here work quite properly under npm 3. Can you try using NPM 2?
npm i npm@2
alias npm=./node_modules/.bin/npm
npm install
I just updated all of the dependencies (they were last updated in December!), including Babel, which was relying on a version of the Chokidar filesystem module that seemed to be causing the issue you ran into. It should also work properly with npm@3 now :)
