In the file named euca-centos-5.3-x86_64.tar.gz that I downloaded from
http://eucalyptussoftware.com/downloads/eucalyptus-images/euca-centos-5.3-x86_64.tar.gz

The archive contains:
  $ tar -tzf ../euca-centos-5.3-x86_64.tar.gz
  euca-centos-5.3-x86_64/
  euca-centos-5.3-x86_64/centos.5-3.x86-64.img

It would be more helpful to myself and others who are trying to help you
if you provide more complete information.

The problem with uec-publish-tarball is that it does not look in
sub-directories.

I pushed a change to upstream cloud-utils to address the sub-directories
You can see that at
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-on-ec2/ubuntu-on-ec2/cloud-utils/annotate/head%3A/uec-publish-tarball

You can just download that and replace your other uec-publish-tarball.
However, as I mentioned in the commit this wont entirely solve your
problem, as the xen kernel will be selected as the kernel.  There is not
currently a way to specify a specific kernel.
