Solution is to only drag the bbb folder, not the bbb-1.0.0 folder to the extensions folder. Just in case this comes up with anyone else.

Smart people can ignore everything I just wrote.
That is the common practice in the "real world" (outside of the hobby world) to always put the archive contents into a directory of the same name.

Next time - bbb-1.0.1 (or whatever) will unpack into its own directory name - making it possible to keep them separate on the system.

The practice also protects against: "tar-bombs" (google that if you have to).
