NLog and Common.Logging nightmare

Question

So I have tried everything I can find to get these two to play together.

I have installed the nuget package Common.Logging.NLog20,

My config looks like:

<configSections>
    <sectionGroup name="common">
        <section name="logging" type="Common.Logging.ConfigurationSectionHandler, Common.Logging" />
    </sectionGroup>
    <section name="nlog" type="NLog.Config.ConfigSectionHandler, NLog20" />
</configSections>
<common>
    <logging>
        <factoryAdapter type="Common.Logging.NLog.NLogLoggerFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging.NLog20">
            <arg key="configType" value="INLINE" />
        </factoryAdapter>
    </logging>
</common>
<runtime>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
        <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity name="NLog" publicKeyToken="5120e14c03d0593c" culture="neutral" />
            <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.1.0.0" newVersion="2.1.0.0" />
        </dependentAssembly>
        <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity name="Common.Logging" publicKeyToken="af08829b84f0328e" culture="neutral" />
            <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.0.0.0" newVersion="2.0.0.0" />
        </dependentAssembly>
    </assemblyBinding>
</runtime>

I am using the nuget NLog.Configuration package so my nlog config is in a separate file called NLog.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  internalLogFile="nlog.ERRORS.txt" internalLogLevel="Error" >

<!-- 
See http://nlog-project.org/wiki/Configuration_file 
for information on customizing logging rules and outputs.
-->
<targets>
    <!-- add your targets here -->
    <target xsi:type="File" name="log" keepFileOpen="true"
            fileName="${basedir}/log_${date:format=yyyyMMdd}.txt"
            layout="${longdate} ${level:uppercase=true:padding=5} - ${logger:shortName=true} - ${message} ${exception:format=tostring}" />
    <target name="log_errors_memory" xsi:type="Memory"
            layout="${longdate} ${level:uppercase=true:padding=5} - ${logger:shortName=true} - ${message} ${exception:format=tostring}" />
    <target name="log_all_memory" xsi:type="Memory"
            layout="${longdate} ${level:uppercase=true:padding=5} - ${logger:shortName=true} - ${message} ${exception:format=tostring}" />
</targets>

<rules>
    <!-- add your logging rules here -->
    <logger name="*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="log" />
    <logger name="*" minlevel="Trace" writeTo="log_all_memory" />
    <logger name="*" minlevel="Error" writeTo="log_errors_memory" />
</rules>
</nlog>

I have tried changing the FactoryAdaptor to NLog, NLog2 and NLog20, I have tried changing the binding redirect, I have tried updating the Common.Logging to version 2.2.0.0. No matter what I do I get the exception:

{"Failed obtaining configuration for Common.Logging from configuration section 'common/logging'."}

Inner Exception:
{"An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for common/logging: Type Common.Logging.NLog.NLogLoggerFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging.NLog20, Version=2.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=af08829b84f0328e does not implement Common.Logging.ILoggerFactoryAdapter\r\nParameter name: factoryAdapterType\r\nActual value was Common.Logging.NLog.NLogLoggerFactoryAdapter. (D:\\Development\\Code\\DotNet\\vs2013\\exe\\CommandLine\\PSVImporter\\FidessaPSVImport.Test\\bin\\Debug\\FidessaPSVImport.Test.dll.config line 17)"}

What am I missing? This shouldn't be this hard to get working.

Okay, so after all the fixes above I had to also update the Common.Logging package to v2.2.0.0 and then update the binding redirects manually. This is really a sub-optimal deployment of the Common.Logging.NLog20 nuget package. You shouldn't have to do this.
