Also, when you run from TD.NET, it is using its own code to 
load each assembly separately.

Config files have to be in the same directory as the assembly
they are for. Are your assemblies in the test directory?
Depending on the settings in your .nunit file, nunit-console
decides whether to load each assembly into a separate appdomain
or run them all in one appdomain. You can force it to run one
way or the other using the /domain option on the command line.
Setting this to /domain:Multiple and removing any setting for
the config file from the .nunit file will probably work.

If not, send us a copy of your .nunit file if your company
security allows it. ;-)
