I have an app that runs fine in file mode. When I switch it to COM mode it gets these errors:
It looks like it is still trying to run in File mode?
What am I missing?

Make sure you are actually in COM mode. Refresh the Admin page and check.
The way the admin page works, sometimes if you 'reload' using the browser's refresh you can end up toggling back into file mode so make sure you use the Refresh link on the page.

I checked and it definitely says it is in COM mode.

Don't know then...
You're also running in detail mode, so you're logging everything that's happening which is very verbose. While I agree that you shouldn't see file related things in your log, I suspect something is running in file mode - either a double mapping for the application, or perhaps something that didn't shut down...
It's not what I see I see in my logs if I switch to single server com mode and back:
