that slackbuild is the project slackbuild, rather than sbo slackbuild.
The significant differences are the tag and the file permissions
the relevant output of the slackbuild for sbo are as follows.

=== elilong-0.1.9-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz: All tests passed

as you can see, the permissions are ok, and both sbolint and sbopkglint 
pass.

Regardless of all that, the submission form should not report

Submission failed:
Could not find elilong/elilong.info
Could not find elilong/README
Could not find elilong/elilong.SlackBuild

as the tar.gz file is ok.
I've uploaded the sbo slackbuild I am trying to submit (to 
slackbuilds.org) to the sbo subdirectory on the sourceforge site if you 
want to see the actual elilong.tar.gz sbo slackbuild archive
