I had a similar problem but I wanted to stream the file directly to the remote server instead of saving it locally first. Here's my modifications to get streaming to work:

app.post('/upload', function(request, response, next) {
    var form = new multiparty.Form();

    form.on('part', function(formPart) {
        var contentType = formPart.headers['content-type'];

        var formData = {
            file: {
                value: formPart,
                options: {
                    filename: formPart.filename,
                    contentType: contentType,
                    knownLength: formPart.byteCount
                }
            }
        };

        requestJs.post({
            url: 'http://localhost:4000/upload',
            formData: formData,

            // These may or may not be necessary for your server:
            preambleCRLF: true,
            postambleCRLF: true
        });
    });

    form.on('error', function(error) {
        next(error);
    });

    form.on('close', function() {
       response.send('received upload');
    });

    form.parse(request);
});
