No idea, but Syslinux (ldlinux.asm/sys) does not support (sub)directories.
As it's a Linux on USB Flash drive anyway, consider changing to 
ExtLinux, a derived version of Syslinux but available in the same package
(just like PXElinux and ISOlinux). That would also mean changing 
filesystem on the USB drive from FAT to EXT2.

All files references by syslinux have to be in root directory, by the way.
(well, at least kernel, probably also initrd)

Good luck with your project :)

if anyone corrects my thoughts..I hardly have any Linux knowledge, so 
spare me :)
