[SunHELP] error when applying patch

[DAUBIGNE Sebastien - BOR ( SDaubigne@bordeaux-bersol.sema.slb.com )]

Be aware that the patch installation script launches something as user
"nobody", so you have to make sure user 'nobody' can access
"/export/home/echase", or move the patch directory to some place user
"nobody" can cd into.
