Note that Debian/Ubuntu usually uses binfmt_misc to register exe files
for execution by Mono, as described in
http://mono-project.com/Guide:Running_Mono_Applications#Registering_.exe_as_non-native_binaries_.28Linux_only.29
so it looks like this has somehow become disabled on your system.

The quick solution is just to invoke your program with "mono programname.exe".
