[thelist] Help with Patch Tool

hi all, 

I am blue in the face with this:

I've altered some files and *added* some to /themes and have been
folowing the directions on drupal.org to make the patch.

So, why doesnt this add the new files?

diff -ruN themes/ ~/modifiedDrupal/themes/ >print-styles.diff

which appears okay, but when I go to test the patch like this:

patch -p0 -u <patch.diff

it tries to overwrite files in the modified tree and *does not* add them
to the original?

As far as I can see that's straight out the drupal docs, what obvious
and embarassingly simple point am I missing here?

Thx!
