I have redone the sff_extract with the -Q parameter. I was previously unaware of this option. This so far appears to have fixed the current issue. I should have known I would need some other way to get the FASTQ format. As for 'sudo', I have been making a document of any issues I have and I used that a little while back when the directory was still assigned to root. I have since changed ownership of the directory and not using sudo. I understand the ramifications of using sudo and have made it so I don't need it.
