exception_logger and protect_from_forgery

I am having a problem using the exception_logger plugin when I have protect_from_forgery enabled.

Here is the line from application.rb: protect_from_forgery :secret => 'xxxx'

But I am getting: No :secret given to the #protect_from_forgery call. Set that or use a session store capable of generating its own keys (Cookie Session Store).

Now, if I remove the secret and try and use MY controllers I get that error, but it goes away when the secret is there.

Any ideas what the issue is?
