The reason for this is OE by default packages the following
directories in the base package (see conf/bitbake.conf):

FILES_${PN} = "${bindir}/* ${sbindir}/* ${libexecdir}/* ${libdir}/lib*.so.* \
            ${sysconfdir} ${sharedstatedir} ${localstatedir} \
            ${base_bindir}/* ${base_sbindir}/* ${base_libdir}/*.so*
${datadir}/${PN} ${libdir}/${PN}/* \
            ${datadir}/pixmaps ${datadir}/applications \
            ${datadir}/idl ${datadir}/omf ${datadir}/sounds \
            ${libdir}/bonobo/servers"

Note, that ${datadir}/${PN} (/usr/share/efis) is packages, but not
/usr/share/EFIS.

There are two solutions:

1) rename /usr/share/EFIS to /usr/share/efis
2) add the following to your recipe:

FILES_${PN} += " ${datadir}/EFIS"
