Unhandled exception: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unrecognized elements of 'services'. Nested Configuration ElementCollection

Question

I have the following configSection in App.Config.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="servicesConfig" type="Admin.Config.ServicesConfig, TestConsole"/>
  </configSections>
  <servicesConfig>
    <serviceGroups>
      <services group="group1">
        <add name="Service1" host="localhost"/>
        <add name="Service2" host="localhost"/>
      </services>
      <services group="groups">
        <add name="Service1" host="localhost"/>
        <add name="Service2" host="localhost"/>
      </services>
    </serviceGroups>
  </servicesConfig>
</configuration>

This maps to the following classes in C #
