Log4J: 2 Appenders - one gets errors, other gets all (doesn't work)

I sent a message to the log4j-user mailing list this afternoon, but have not received a response - so hopefully someone can help me out. Here's the problem I'm having:

I have two appenders - a console and a file.  I want all messages to 
go to the console and only <= error to go to the file.

In my file appender, I have a filter to only get the error messages:

<filter class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LevelRangeFilter">
  <param name="LevelMax" value="ERROR" />
</filter>

Then in <root> I have:

  <root>
    <level value="DEBUG"/>
    <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/>
    <appender-ref ref="FILE"/>
  </root>

From the documentation I've read (i.e. http://tinyurl.com/meef), this
*should* work.  However, all messages get logged to both the console
appender and the file appender.

Any advice is appreciated.

I dig Dave's New Look

Dave, I dig your new Bluebar Theme. Very nicely done - now if I could just get you to make "Blogging Roller" into a link with the same href as "Home." I constantly click on it with no results. That goes for all Roller users - please make the title text or image of your blog into a link. Here's how:

<a href="$ctxPath/page/$userName" title="Home">Your Title Here</a>

Dual Monitor Video Card

Found this daddio from some co-workers today: GeForce4 MX440 64MB DDR 4x AGP Card w/Dual VGA. All for a measly $36.55. Now if they only made one of these for laptops. I'd love to make my next computer an Intel-based PowerBook, but you can only plug in one additional monitor to a laptop - I'd love to have dual.
