At least newer versions of run-parts only allow underscores in the
so-called "hierarchical namespace" (i.e. "[hier1]-[hier2]-...-[name]"),
citing the Linux Standards Base specification of cron's behaviour. This
means that they require at least one "-" in the filename if an
underscore is used.

In short, use a hyphen or something instead of the underscore.
