I haven't seen any duplicate entries either. So it must be something else.

I don't know what patch tool they use. But this *.rej file is definitely
not a patch file which is valid in Subversion.
And TortoiseSVN (apart from the issue above with the duplicate entries)
creates perfectly fine patch files in unified diff format, the *very
same* as the Subversion command line client does (it uses the same
Subversion API to create them).

So if the patchfile got rejected, you have to ask why it was rejected
and what tool they're using. My best guess would be that your patch is
already outdated (i.e. not possible to apply to the latest version of
trunk because there were already too many changes).
If not, I can't really help you here...
