Nah, -r is to recurse in subdirectories, that was correct.
The problem is in the use of 'diff $NEW $OLD'.  It should
be 'diff $OLD $NEW'.

But while at it, please do add the -p as Michael is suggesting.
It makes reading the patches easier.

Are you diffing two copies of the tree (one pristine, one
edited)?  I suggest investing some time on learning to
work with some patch series management tool or process.
E.g., I work on top of a cvs checkout and manage my
patches with quilt; others use git, or stgit.
