They still don't apply.  And some of the reasons are clearly visible:
look at the wrong indentation of all the lines where you actually made
changes:

Do you see the problem? there should be 2 blanks between `!' and the
text after it, but somehow one of the blanks is missing.

Can you tell exactly how you invoke Diff and what switches you pass to
it?  Perhaps therein lies the reason for these problems.  Also, what
version of Diff is that, and on what OS it was run?

If nothing gives a clue, you could send the patches as a binary
attachment.
