Don't give your files one of the reserved extensions listed in syslinux.doc:

   none or other Linux kernel image
   .0            PXE bootstrap program (NBP) [PXELINUX only]
   .bin          "CD boot sector" [ISOLINUX only]
   .bs           Boot sector [SYSLINUX only]
   .bss          Boot sector, DOS superblock will be patched in 
[SYSLINUX only]
   .c32          COM32 image (32-bit COMBOOT)
   .cbt          COMBOOT image (not runnable from DOS)
   .com          COMBOOT image (runnable from DOS)
   .img          Disk image [ISOLINUX only]
