Took me a moment to understand what's going on. I assume you have this 
line in the config file:

   pattern='!Intranet Input Method Framework'

You have been overzealous as far as escaping/quoting is concerned; in 
the config file you don't need quotes. Try this instead:

   pattern=!Intranet Input Method Framework

In your example, pca gets the pattern including the quote characters 
as-is, and doesn't recognize it as a negative pattern as it doesn't 
start with ! but ' instead. So it will list all patches which match the 
*exact* pattern <'!Intranet Input Method Framework'> (I'm using <> for 
quoting here) - and that's *no* patch.

Hope this helps,

Martin.
