My first stop would by the Roche sff_dump if you have (or whatever it is called). In case the SFF has, like the FASTQ, no sequence, then I think your provider has a problem (and they should be notified). In case the SFF looks OK, then either Jose or myself should have a look at that SFF to see what kind of weirdness broke sff_extract.
