It really depends on the context. But in general terms the word "not" is superfluous. However, you could use it like this:
Are you coming to dinner? Not unless you tidy up first!

same thing with not uncommon. I've gone across these words a lot, and i've had the same question. However, there is really a way of expressing things sometimes. And, after all, what is important is not what is right, but being able to tell the other person what you meant. As long as the meaning stays, then there should not be a problem.

Of course it is correct because it is an adverb.
I will NOT go out UNLESS my girlfriend wants to go with me

No, this is a double negative. Incorrect grammar.
