Error code 1 when patching on Solaris 10?



I have a modified install_cluster that I built back in the days of
Solaris 2.6 that deletes patches with an error code 2 or 8 so that when
the cluster is done, the only patches left are the ones that had issues.
This worked fine with Solaris 2.6, 7, 8, and 9. With Solaris 10, sun changed
the installpatch shell script to a binary. This should not have mattered,
but a lot of patches now fail with the error code of 1. According to the
patchadd shell script, error code 1 is a patchadd usage error. (!??!!!)
I rather doubt that Sun would release the vast majority of their patches in
the 10_Recommended cluster with patch spinning errors. Can anyone identify
why about 70% of my patches fail with this error? Some do error with a
2 or 8, so that functionality is still preserved in Solaris 10. I never
had an error code 1 on any previous OS installation.

TIA, and I will summarize.
