I forgot to ask, is your app.config for deployment named like the executable followed by the extension ".config" (e.g. MyApp.exe.config, if the executable's name is MyApp.exe) ? or just app.config?

Are you using click once or windows installer?

Look at Julia's blog entry on deploying an app.config:
