I'm not sure where you got that syslinux file from... its not from us. Did you either:

1) use unetbootin to image kali on a USB?
2) live build from a ubuntu box?

Suspended till response.

You are correct, I used unetbootin to write the iso out. I tried to follow the instructions and use Win32 Disk Imager but it kept failing on my Windows 7 x64 system. I didn't realize that unetbootin did this. Sorry for the noise.
