in default configuration of LXC, there is only a range from 0 to 65536 UID allowed, so it is not possible to create files with above permissions. Other node modules doesn't have this problem and all files inside archives have UID/GID equals 0.

Additionally, this module is now obsolete. Please see Publish deprecation notice #6
