Joben, Chainsaw only understand log4j schema XML file. You will need to specify the layout as
<layout type="log4net.Layout.XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j" /> to get log4net to produce output that is compatible with the log4j schema. Log4net was generating the log4j timestamp incorrectly for non UTC timezones. This problem is fixed in the CVS version of log4net, but to get that fix you will need to get the latest version from CVS and build yourself a new copy.
