Quickscrape url retrieval failing?

I was testing some scraping procedures on my windows machine (node: v6.9.2; npm v4.0.5) and directly installed quickscrape from the master branch available on github. I am getting the following error when running quickscrape --urllist urls.txt --scraperdir journal-scrapers\scrapers -output test, where quickscrape apparently fails to retrieve the urllist properly?

The url file is not malformed (tested that) and I get the same error when I input 1 url directly.

info: quickscrape 0.4.7 launched with...
info: - URL: -t
info: - Scraperdir: E:\journal-scrapers\scrapers
info: - Rate limit: 3 per minute
info: - Log level: info
