Unfortunately, that did not solve the problem.

I posted my code and its output / error in Paste Bucket so you can see

did you just leave out the callback to your fs.writeFile, or did you not provide one? If you're using fs.readFile - an asynchronous method - and not providing a callback, that whole thing will be a race condition for you. Either use fs.readFileSync, or provide a callback and don't try to access the file until the callback.

It already is a string. I just don't get it :-(

Maybe try:

JSON.parse(data.toString())

?

I have traced the error to the JSON statement.

when I return JSON.parse(data) ; it blows up with an unexpected end of file.

When I console.log(JSON.parse(data)); it works fine.  I'm confused!

This throws an error unexpected end of file.

        fs.readFile(__dirname + '/' + filename, function (err, data) {
                if (err) throw err;
                console.log(data);
        });

This is a oneline file created by:

        fs.writeFile(__dirname + '/' + filename, JSON.stringify(data));

The file exists and the permissions are fine. Whats wrong?
