You are probably using patch on some other drive than c:?
Patch prepares the new file in /tmp and tries to rename it
to the active directory.  Rename fails if the source and
destination are on different filesystems.  You shouldn't
mount /tmp, just have one in the root of every physical drive.

If you are using patch on c:, the previous doesn't apply and
your problem is in something else.
