External Config Files with elmah

I am using elmah (v1.1.11517.0) and am trying to move the config to an external source.

My config currently looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
    <configSections>
        <sectionGroup name="elmah">
            <section name="security" requirePermission="false" type="Elmah.SecuritySectionHandler, Elmah"/>
            <section name="errorLog" requirePermission="false" type="Elmah.ErrorLogSectionHandler, Elmah" />
            <section name="errorMail" requirePermission="false" type="Elmah.ErrorMailSectionHandler, Elmah" />
            <section name="errorFilter" requirePermission="false" type="Elmah.ErrorFilterSectionHandler, Elmah"/>
            <section name="errorTweet" requirePermission="false" type="Elmah.ErrorTweetSectionHandler, Elmah"/>
        </sectionGroup>
        <section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net"/>
    </configSections>
    <log4net configSource="Settings\RobDev\log4net.config" />
    <elmah configSource="Settings\RobDev\ELMAH.config" />
</configuration>

log4net is happy and runs fine, however for elmah I get the error

Parser Error Message: The attribute 'configSource' cannot be specified because its name starts with the reserved prefix 'config' or 'lock'.

Which is a pain, the elmah file is definitely there, but something isn't happy.

What might be causing this?
