xbuild: No target found in the project. c# class lib

I am trying to compile a project using xbuild on Ubuntu 14.4 LTS. I have mono 4.2.3 and xbuild 12

The entire solution was previously building with mono on OSX, but a few changes have been made by my colleges (such as renaming of projects) and now it fails to build on OSX too. I can't for the life of me work out what has changed to cause this. It continues to build fine in visual studio and with msbuild on Jenkins.

There are 5 projects in the solution, and initially they all returned an error 

<Projfile>:error : No target found in the project

after a little googling, I added the following to all of my project files. 

<Target Name="Build" DependsOnTargets="$(BuildDependsOn)" Outputs="$(TargetPath)" />

Now, only the 2 class library projects are returning this error.

I have checked all my msbuild variables are set to the correct paths by running with diagnostic logging, and I have also found a couple of SO posts that walk through if mono is installed correctly or not.

I'm at a bit of a loss.

Edit

here is the output running with /v:diag as requested.

The really weird bit is that my csproj files start off looking as they do in source control. something like this (redacted for character limit)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="12.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Microsoft.Common.props" Condition="Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Microsoft.Common.props')" />
  <PropertyGroup>
    <Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Debug</Configuration>
    <Platform Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '' ">AnyCPU</Platform>
    <ProjectGuid>{DAA924E0-7C89-4E49-B1C6-28B66ABAC229}</ProjectGuid>
    <OutputType>Library</OutputType>
    <AppDesignerFolder>Properties</AppDesignerFolder>
    <RootNamespace>Microlise.MonoTemplate.Logger</RootNamespace>
    <AssemblyName>Microlise.MonoTemplate.Logger</AssemblyName>
    <TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>
    <FileAlignment>512</FileAlignment>
    <SolutionDir Condition="$(SolutionDir) == '' Or $(SolutionDir) == '*Undefined*'">..\</SolutionDir>
    <RestorePackages>true</RestorePackages>
    <TargetFrameworkProfile />
  </PropertyGroup>
......

but if I look at it after the build has failed, it has changed to this: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8">                                                       
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" />

And that's all that is in the file. No targets, nothing. So it seems to me as though xbuild/mono is modifying the csproj files as it performs the build for some reason?

edit 2

here is the imports from the Logger project\

<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Microsoft.Common.props" Condition="Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Microsoft.Common.props')" />
<Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />
<Import Project="$(SolutionDir)\.nuget\NuGet.targets" Condition="Exists('$(SolutionDir)\.nuget\NuGet.targets')" />

ok, so this was all a symptom of an out of date NuGet.exe. I am not sure where the version I was using came from, but the command I was using to restore packages was :

nuget update -safe Microlise.MonoTemplate.sln -repositoryPath ./packages

after updating nuget, I can now simply run 

nuget restore Microlise.MonoTemplate.sln

and the other issues all went away.
