Hi @trhyder, your issue is related with symbolic links. Don't you use a addon folder that's actually a symbolic link?

[trhyder]

Thanks for looking at the issue. I am sorry but I don't know what symbolic links are. What instructions do I need to follow to install?

Weird, then something creates symbolic links for you (symlink ~ shortcut to an other directory) or there are some unwanted files in the repo directory. Please can you try again with updated Blender (there were issues with removing extensions in Beta) and if the problem persists, I will need more information to help you. Could you please:

1. send a screenshot of how the repository is setup (Blender preferences)
2. check the content of the Custom Directory for the repository that's automatically created when the repository is added (send a screenshot what's inside)

Thank you very much!
