Well, to me it means just a little bit more :)

Lets see, here's the cause of one of the errors:

dsdt-darren.dsl  5892:                 Store (C11A (0x1F, 0x00, 0x00, 
0x00), Local0)
Error    1029 -   Called method returns no value ^

OK, let's look at method C11A (in namespace _TZ_):

        Method (C11A, 4, Serialized)
        {
            \_SB.C03E.C053.C0D1.C11A (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3)
        }

And \_SB.C03E.C053.C0D1.C11A looks like it does return a value:

                    Method (C11A, 4, NotSerialized)
                    {
                        Acquire (C10B, 0xFFFF)
                        Acquire (\_GL, 0xFFFF)
                        [snip]
                        Release (\_GL)
                        Release (C10B)
                        Return (Local7)
                    }

Ok, here's the bug. This method calls another and discards its value. 
So, it should be like this:

        Method (C11A, 4, Serialized)
        {
           Return (  \_SB.C03E.C053.C0D1.C11A (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3) )
        }

I am not able to compile your DSDT. Can you please try to compile it 
yourself ?
