Just because it finds a .config file doesn't mean it stops looking for
other .config file locations.  It'll keep looking until it can load the
requested library or fail.

So, one last question: how did you declare your DllImport method?

(A)
	[DllImport ("KeyWin32.dll")] private static extern ...

(B)
	[DllImport ("KeyWin32")] private static extern ...

Given your .config file (which remaps "KeyWin32.dll"), you need to use
(A) or else the .config file searching won't find a match.  Since (B)
doesn't match the .config file, it will result in a failed remapping.
