1) You have a space in a LABEL.  This makes it unusable at the command
line.  I'd suggest something like the following:

LABEL test-img-iso-file
  MENU LABEL ** ^TEST IMG/ISO File.

2) Based on #1, I'm left to assume you're using (vesa)menu.c32.  Is this true?

3) HOW does it fail?  What unexpected behavior do you observe?
