Nevermind. Seems that installing npm packages globally while using n to manage NodeJS installations is a somewhat sketchy prospect. Managed to get everything working fine by installing to a specific folder (not globally), and executing godaddy-dns directly from there.

Hello @Joncom, thanks for reporting the issue anyway, I'll try to check if I can replicate the bug and see if there's something I can do to avoid the issue with that specific setup.

Anyway, you might also be interested in knowing that in the latest releases you can download binaries that should just work in your OS without even having to worry about Node.js and dependencies.

Let me know if you have further issues.

I just ran into this issue. It worked fine during first few trial test runs then it started puking these errors..whatever.
