Cannot upgrade CRS from 10.2.0.1.0 10.2.0.3.0

Question

All
We have been using CRS 10.2.0.1.0 for 3 months now using it on our app tier.
Now the time has come to patch the CRS HOME directory but when we run the OUI we are receiving many errors mainly permission errors.
Could someone please advise what i am missing the CRS_HOME has recursive permission of 770 for root:oinstall & we have been using the software with no problems at all.
I have posted some of the errors which i have been encountering
Please help!!!

You cannot start patching from the top. There is an order of patching RAC environments.
The Upgrade Guide will state the Order of patching if you have RAC. So you need to read it before you start.
