It should work.
I have tested with Joomla 1.5.12 where there is an update that require to JMS re-isntall the patches.
In Joomla 1.5.13 there is no patches to install if you come from a Joomla 1.5.12.

I suspect that you have installed Joomla 1.5.13 over an older Joomla version prior 1.5.12 that explain that JMS has detected that something has to be re-installed.

You have not mentioned the list of files that had to be fixed by JMS before you received all the files to re-installed.

I suppose you have a permission issue at least on one file or several files that had to be patched.
If you remember the file(s) that had to be patched before to receive the whole list, this would help you identify the file(s) that has (have) a permission issue.

One possible reason is that you have installed the Joomla 1.5.13 patches with a user that have more privileges than the apaches or IIS user that is used when you ask to install the JMS patches.

Check the owner and group permission of the files.
Perhaps you should set a chmod 777 or try using the FTP Layer to try re-install the pathes.
See tutorial step 15 on how to use the Joomla FTP Layer.

Actually we updated from 1.5.11.

I am know overwriting the JMS files from a fresh 1.5.13 install with JMS and apply these to the initial installation.

There are clearly some patch issues on are server.

You have to check the permission of those files before retrying install them with JMS.

Those files are effectivelly modified by Joomla between Joomla 1.5.11 and 1.5.12.
I suspect that the procedure that you have used to install the Joomla 1.5.13 update had as consequence to change the permission of those files.

You can also try to use the Joomla FTP layer to grant your user to give permission to update those files.
See tutorial step 15.

You can also try using a chmod 777 on those files before applying the JMS patches installation.

chmod, chgrp, chown are all set to the proper user/group and 777 write permissions.

Are the files beeing patched via FTP or via Apache?

Can this be an issue with the Joomla FTP layer?

JMS use the Joomla configuration.
So if you have enabled the FTP Layer in Joomla Global Configuration it will use it.
Otherwise, it will use the apaches user.
