incompatible native modules : fsevents preventing remote-sync from working

[morgunder]

dev tools shows this: Failed to require the main module of 'remote-sync' because it requires one or more incompatible native modules (fsevents, binding, binding, binding, binding, binding). Run apm rebuild in the package directory and restart Atom to resolve.

i tried running apm-beta rebuild as i'm on the beta branch and apm didn't seem to work.
that completed successfully. restarted atom and still seeing the same error.

has anyone worked around this one yet?
