all the /bin/patch/* files are just shell scripts, so it's easy to see
what's going on. which stage gives you permission errors? in a default
setup, you'll have to be in group sys, as that's who owns all the
sources.
if you can't be in sys for whatever reason, you'll have a somewhat
more manual process ahead of you. identify the files to be modified,
create local copies (i'm assuming you can at least *read* them,
otherwise this is probably futile), bind them over the system ones,
and re-run the patch command.
of course, i'm largely guessing without an error message.
