Find yourself a tutorial on makeing configs. You need to change the .pbo name Class names an display names for your units. Even some other stuff. Maybe take a look in ARMA : CONFIGS AND SCRIPTING (addons) Thread. Seems thats the best place to look. Try ArmA: CfgVehicles.

Please explain in more detail what names you are changing.

Just changing the .pbo file name without changing anything

else wouldn't be expected to work since, as NZShadow says,

by doing that you'd be mangling things like texture paths etc.

You cannot, unless you un-pbo the file, tweak the config and the 3D files and then re-pbo the whole stuff.

Why? Because the config draws a path to the 3D files and 3D files themselves draw paths to the .paa texture files, if you change the .pbo file’s name these paths are broken.
