Are you sure you are not picking up old results, that is, did you use
fit(cbs, ..., force=TRUE) or simply did you remove the previous
segmentation results in cbsData/?

You can troubleshoot with one array and one chromosome, e.g.

fit(cbs, arrays=6, chromosomes=16, min.width=5, undo.splits="sdundo",
undo.SD=1, force=TRUE, verbose=-10);

When reporting problems on aroma.affymetrix, make sure 1) to run the latest 
version of the package, 2) to report the output of sessionInfo() and 
traceback(), and 3) to post a complete code example.
