I'm barely more than a newby with this stuff as well, but I did manage to
get this working to apply a patch.  So with that modicum of experience I'll
suggest a couple of things.

One thing that looks wrong in your commands is that your paths
"/trunk/<rest of path>..."
are based at root rather than at /home/moko/openmoko...

Try 
"quilt add trunk/<rest of path>...."

If that isn't the issue, but rather a typo in your email, look at
patches/input_test.patch.

What does the path for the files referenced in the patch start with?
openmoko/trunk/.... or trunk/....

If it is the later, you would need the patch file listed with a strip level
of 0 instead of the default 1.
