This would happen if drivers/scsi/ata_acpi.c is empty. Quilt cannot add
empty files, because this operation cannot be stored as a patch file.

You're doing the right thing. I just tested on both quilt 0.42 and CVS
and it works as intended for me - as long as the file I add is not
empty.

If you confirm that your file isn't empty and it still doesn't work,
please provide the output of "quilt --trace refresh".
