Mono does convert and work fine with projects that use XSD files with
both TableAdapters and class definitions. However, it can fail with
certain XSD files - due to their complexity.  Is it possible for you to
share your XSD files so that we can debug and fix the issue?  OR you can
send the tarball to me directly (we assure you of all privacy/NDA kinda
disclaimers) OR 

Can you point us to any "open sourced" projects that gives similar
errors?  - like the projects in http://www.asp.net/community/projects/
