I can also duplicate this problem, when I attempt to push a patch that
modifies an existing file I get:

  darcs failed:  Error applying patch to recorded!

Strangely this only seems to happen for hunk patches; adding,
removing, and replacing work fine.  Even stranger, it works ok when
darcs is run from msys's sh.exe, but not from cmd.exe.  The only
difference I can see is whether the lines in the file end in "\n" or
"\r\n".
