What Linux distribution are you using? We've only tested TKLPatch with Ubuntu so this may be related. TKLPatch depends on a few pieces of software which may behave differently on your distribution. Also if you could capture the output from running tklpatch to a file and attach it to your message it will be easier to pinpoint what is going on. You may also want to try using TKLPatch from inside a TurnKey or Ubuntu VM.
