Thanks Ross and Nicolas. That was the nudge I needed to get past this.

The usual way to debug this is to read the log.do_install and check it's installing where you expect, and dig around the temporary directories in the work directory.  Specifically, the files you install in your do_install() should end up in tmp/work/[arch]/[package]/image.  If image/ is missing files your
do_install() is probably broken, otherwise you FILES_* are probably broken.
