Oracle 10.2.0.1 on RedHat AS 4.0

I'm trying to patch Oracle (going from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3).  I've downloaded 
the patch, and modified my response file.  When I run the installer, I get the 
following the error:

SEVERE:OUI-10029:You have specified a non-empty directory to install this 
product. It is recommended to specify either an empty or a non-existent 
directory. You may, however, choose to ignore this message if the directory 
contains Operating System generated files or subdirectories like lost+found.

I run the installer as follows:

./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /opt/app/oracle/Disk1/response/patchset.rsp

My patchset.rsp file looks like this:

RESPONSEFILE_VERSION=2.2.1.0.0
UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall
FROM_LOCATION="/opt/app/oracle/Disk1/stage/products.xml"
NEXT_SESSION_RESPONSE=<Value Unspecified>
ORACLE_HOME="/opt/app/oracle/product/10.2.0"
# I also tried this:
# ORACLE_HOME="/opt/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1"
ORACLE_HOME_NAME="OraDb10g_home1"
TOPLEVEL_COMPONENT={"oracle.patchset.db","10.2.0.3.0"}
RESTART_SYSTEM=false

I installed the patch on another machine using the following:

./runInstaller -record -responseFile myresp.rsp

but this failed to create a response file.

This is a single instance, non-clustered database.  Any ideas where I'm going 
wrong?

BTW, I was able to use the OUI in silent mode to install a fresh install of 
10.2.0.1.
