I have exactly the same settings on another demo application which works fine. The web.config for that is

HTTP Error 500.23 - Internal Server Error

i worked it out by putting

<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="~/Error.aspx" >

            </customErrors>

inside the last <system.web> web.config node. don't no why it has to be in the last node of <system.web> but it  is working now :s :)
