A total wild guess but perhaps a full path (relative to the EFI
partition) is required? Not sure if you will want Linux style / path
separators or Windows/EFI \ ones, or even if you might need to escape
them as \\ (probably not).

I assume vmlinuz-3.5.0-36-generic does actually exist somewhere in the
EFI partition?

I guess grub.efi works -- what paths does it use?
