It sounds like the mime magic is confusing it - we may have made a
mistake.

The file extension is used for a first guess, and it is what determines
the icons you see first. You then click on the file, and it does a more
thorough investigation, reading the file, looking for magic strings -
and apparently, decides your symbol file is in fact a schematic.

Unfortunately there is nothing to tell the files apart, so the magic for
symbol and schematics is the same. The only thing which can
differentiate is the ".sym" on the end of the symbol filename.
