VirtualBox kernel 2.6.29 patch[SOLVED]

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to build VirtualBox from AUR. I tried to apply the patch as instructed, got an error:
Verifying archive integrity... MD5 checksums are OK. All good.
patch: **** Can't open patch file /home/me/sandbox/abs/virtualbox_bin/src/virtualbox-kernel-2-6-29.patch : No such file or directory
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...
There's no such file indeed. I suppose the trouble is due to my lack of skills; unwilling to contaminate the AUR thread with dumb questions, I post here .
My PKGBUILD, modified according to instructions to the best of my ability :

I suspected something like that, but the patch file is nowhere to be found (?).
You should add the file name to the source array and regenerate the md5sums.
How am I supposed to do this?
