IIRC during Drumbbeat the Germans refueled their Type VII using their Type IXs coming off patrol.
I'm kinda vague on the movie (not seen it in about a year) but it could be argued that the "Resupply Sub" was just a normal sub tasked with the mission. All they were doing was caring diesel parts to get U-571's engines running so she could get back to port, they did not need any large stores of provisions or torpedoes that a Resupply Sub is designed to transport.
