Your log may be write locked, so try with 1 FileShare.ReadWrite.

Try to add the FileShare option, see if 3 that helps:

FileStream fs = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite);

EDIT: corrected code, not FileShare.Read but 2 FileShare.ReadWrite does the trick (as Guillaume showed as 1 well). The reason: you want to open your file and allow others to read and write it at the same time.
