I'll second Peter: look what other converters have to say. 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.
