gulp wont run after initial clone

[barlock]

After an initial clone and running gulp I'm presented with this stack trace

events.js:85
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

I think the problem has something to do with watson-runners imagemin task but I'm not sure exactly what is causing it.
