Nicko,
It wasn't an issue with the version of log4net I was using. The main problem
was in the configuration file. I had the <appsettings> section before the
<log4net> settings. This seemed odd to me, since in a typical XML document,
the order that the tags appear in doesn't matter. (I tested this to be
certain. When I change the order back again, it doesn't work.) I also
changed a section from this:
<configSections>
<section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
</configSections>
to this:
<configSections>
<section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net-net-1.1" />
</configSections>
It's now working, and I'm quite pleased with it. I've been very busy making
namespace level loggers for my project, and they are all performing nicely.
Just thought you'd be interested in hearing the details of the resolution.

Sheila,
Which version of log4net are your using?
If your not using 1.2 beta 8 I would recommend you try with that
version.
Cheers,
Nicko
