I am trying to upload an image using Node w/ express and I get the following error. I have seen a few questions on this that point to asynch DB calls as the cause of the problem. I would like to use bodyParser as in theory, bodyParser should just pass me to connect and then formidable so I would prefer solutions that do not disable bodyParser.
In my case, I am making no DB calls - all my code is copied below. Any light that anyone could shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my app.js file (coffee script):
express = require('express')
routes = require('./routes')
app = module.exports = express.createServer()
app.configure(() ->
app.set('views', __dirname + '/views')
app.set('view engine', 'jade')
app.use(express.bodyParser({
uploadDir: '/tmp/upload'
}))
app.use(express.methodOverride())
app.use(express.cookieParser())
app.use(app.router)
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'))
)
app.configure('development', () ->
app.use(express.logger())
app.use(express.errorHandler({ dumpExceptions: true, showStack: true }))
)
app.configure('test', () ->
app.use(express.logger())
app.use(express.errorHandler({ dumpExceptions: true, showStack: true }))
)
app.configure('production', () ->
app.use(express.logger())
app.use(express.errorHandler())
)
app.get('/images/new', (req, res) ->
console.log("getting image form")
res.render('forms/image_upload', {title: 'Images'})
)
app.post('/images', (req, res) ->
console.log("post run")
res.send('uploaded')
)
app.listen(3000, () ->
console.log("Express server listening on port %d in %s mode", app.address().port, app.settings.env)
)
Here is my form partial (jade):
form#new-images(action="/images", enctype="multipart/form-data", method="post" )
input#image-url(placeholder="Enter image url", type="text")
input#image-files(type="file", multiple="multiple")
input#submit(type="submit", value="Upload")
