Can't convert app to south due to django 1.5 custom User model.

I have a custom app in my project named 'profiles' which contains a custom User model. Here is the declaration of the same:

class CustomUser(AbstractUser):

    image = models.ImageField(_('Image Field'), upload_to='user_images')

I have pointed this in my settings module, AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'profiles.CustomUser'

and in my settings i have 2 installed apps only, 1. South and 2. profiles.

when i do syncdb, everything seems to work fine, but when I django-admin.py convert_to_south profiles, it gives me following error:

Creating migrations directory at '/Users/tejinder/Projects/basidia/apps/profiles/migrations'...

Creating __init__.py in '/Users/tejinder/Projects/basidia/apps/profiles/migrations'...

 + Added model profiles.CustomUser

 + Added M2M table for groups on profiles.CustomUser

 + Added M2M table for user_permissions on profiles.CustomUser

Created 0001_initial.py. You can now apply this migration with: ./manage.py migrate profiles

CommandError: One or more models did not validate:

auth.user: Model has been swapped out for 'profiles.CustomUser' which has not been installed or is abstract.

What could have been gone wrong? Thanks in advance.
