You have them now in the BUILD directory but not the BUILDROOT directory.
It is in this directory the files are prepared for grabbing by the
%files section.

A typical solution might be:

Source0: yourtar.tar.gz
# This extra file....
Source1:  iotestlist.sh

%prep
%setup
cp -p %{SOURCE1} iotestlist.sh

%install
install -p -m 755 iotestlist %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/iotestlist.sh

%files
....
%{_bindir}/iotestlist.sh
