I know exactly what you mean, but still find it distinctly different.
I don't quite have my finger on why, but "no problem" is usually in response to a thanks for an action where as "not your fault" feels like *rejection* of an offering.

I guess this stems from people assuming that "sorry" indicates there's some blame somewhere which... it just doesn't. Literally the dictionary definition of "sorry" begins with "feeling sorrow or sympathy"
