Configuration Error if I try to use a Domain account for ASP.NET Worker Process

I am attempting to configure a domain account that will
be used for the ASP.NET worker process instead of local
MACHINE or SYSTEM. I have followed all of the MSDN
articles for creating the user, setting all of the
required ACL's on various folders, etc.

I have modified my Machine.Config's <processModel>
section to include the new user credentials such as:
userName="MyDomain\MyUser" password="MyPassword"

However, when I hit my site...the .NET runtime throws
a "Configuration Error" and indicates that an error
occurred while parsing EntityName on the <processModel>
line. For some reason, it does not like the Domain\User
setting. If I remove the Domain\ portion of the username,
I will not receive this error any longer...I will at
least get an invalid user or password message since it is
attempting to use the supplied credentials locally.

I am using Active Directory. Has anyone else had a
problem getting an AD user account to work as the .NET
worker process? I am at a loss at this point...

Thanks,
Mike
