Thanks for the quick response.

The problem is that every directory that I create in this one recipe is in
that list, not just the files. This includes things like
/lib/systemd/system.

I have another recipe, which is basically the same as the hello.c example,
except that it is a real program. It works fine without a FILES_${PN}
variable. So what is it about my failing recipe that makes it need a
FILES_${PN} variable? It has no do_compile, just a do_install script with a
bunch of install and ln commands.

By the way, I also notice it says to use things like ${bindir} for standard
directories. Is there a comprehensive list of these anywhere? I don't find
them in the Yocto Dev Manual or Ref Manual.
