And my money is on a trailing space! Try searching
http://fpaste.org/132600/41038420/ for "scarlett.patch " in your
browser. 

Note the trailing space. Probably caused by
    if ! grep -E "^Patch[0-9]+: $patch\$" %{_specdir}/${RPM_PACKAGE_NAME%%%%%{?variant}}.spec ; then

See the escaped dollar character. [Insert often quoted line about
"regular expressions" and "two problems" here.]
