Hmm... my 'quick' test must have been bad. I just tested again with 
0.2.3 (debian squeeze) and 1.0.0-rc3 and both seem to work just with 
multiple -I options. As I recall, originally, the script just exited 
with a code of 1 in my original test...

so the updated line really should read:
OPTIONS="-dir $KBUILD_EXTMOD -patch $srctree -I $srctree/include -I 
$KBUILD_EXTMOD/include"

I'll send an updated patch in a day or two. I've got some other stuff to 
do today. Also, I noticed another bug that I'll need to fix too. The 
lines in my patch that read:
             echo 'M= is only supported for Coccinelle >= 0.2.3'
             exit 1
are flat out wrong... :(
