Patch does not create new files

Question

If I run the ./PATCH_SUPEE-6788_CE_1.7.0.2_v1-2015-10-27-12-00-16.sh no new files are created. For example app/code/core/Mage/Admin/Model/Resource/Block.php in the patch but does not exist after the patch. No error about this is shown.

I do have rw access and can create the file:

touch app/code/core/Mage/Admin/Model/Resource/Block.php

Any idea why the file is not created?

-bash-4.1$ ls -la app/code/core/Mage/Admin/Model/Resource/
total 124
drwxrwxrwx+ 8 myuser apacheuser  4096 Feb  1 12:41 .

-bash-4.1$ touch app/code/core/Mage/Admin/Model/Resource/Block.php
-bash-4.1$ ls -la app/code/core/Mage/Admin/Model/Resource/Block.php
-rw-rw-rw-+ 1 myuser apacheuser  0 Feb  1 12:41 app/code/core/Mage/Admin/Model/Resource/Block.php

-bash-4.1$ ./PATCH_SUPEE-6788_CE_1.7.0.2_v1-2015-10-27-12-00-16.sh
...
patching file app/code/core/Mage/Admin/Model/Resource/Block.php
patching file app/code/core/Mage/Admin/Model/Resource/Block/Collection.php
...

If I create one of the missing files the patch skips this file, so it is doing something:

The next patch would create the file app/code/core/Mage/Admin/Model/Block.php,
which already exists!  Assume -R? [n]
Apply anyway? [n]
Skipping patch.

ok, if it fails to patch one file, no file gets patched at all. Even if it tells you "patching file".

Fixing the other minor problems solved it.

PS: You might need to check line-endings CRLF vs LF!
