Nope, I need to create the rc-versions, too.
I try use:

tar xvf linux-2.6.5.tar
cp -la linux-2.6.5 linux-2.6.5-rc1-bk1
patch -p1 -d <patches/patch-2.6.5-rc1-bk1 linux-2.6.5-rc1-bk1

and get:

patching file CREDITS
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R?

Whats wrong with that?

RU,
