You're confusing namespaces with assemblies.  They are not the same.

You need to reference Mono.Posix.dll, and use the Mono.Unix namespace
within Mono.Posix.dll.

Furthermore, UnixFileSystemInfo is the base type for UnixDirectoryInfo,
UnixFileInfo, and UnixSymbolicLinkInfo.  Creating instances of any of
these types will allow you to invoke UnixFileSystemInfo methods on them,
or use the UnixFileSystemInfo.GetFileSystemEntry(string)[0] method to
create the appropriate subclass based on the filename.
