Looking at jiffy's rebar.config, it seems like this is caused by lines
10 and 11, which seem to be safe to omit, so delete the lines and try
again. Or you could replace ".*" with the regex from line 13.

I'll send you a modified rebar.config.

Don't give up, this is the technology we have to deal with, and it's
usually because people decided to disregard/forget good solutions from
the past in favor of inferior reinventions.
