Had a similar problem with a newly built system, running Solaris 10 update 4 on some T2000's. I knew the patch set was good because I had installed it on some other systems running on V240 and V440 hardware. However it would never unzip correctly so unzipped it on one of the running systems and exported it out and ran the patch installing on the T2000 using the V240 NFS mount. Not ideal but it worked around the problem and then the same patch bundle would unzip on the T2000 post patch. There was a zip patch in the bundle which I assumed fixed the problem.
