DataSet is limited to 4 levels of tags. You have more so use xml linq

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using System.Data;

namespace ConsoleApplication166
{
    class Program
    {
        const string FILENAME = @"c:\temp\test.xml";
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            dt.Columns.Add("name", typeof(string));
            dt.Columns.Add("sDipStatus", typeof(string));
            dt.Columns.Add("rSubstrateWeight", typeof(decimal));
            dt.Columns.Add("rWetScale1", typeof(decimal));
            dt.Columns.Add("rWetUptakeWeight", typeof(decimal));
            dt.Columns.Add("rWetUptakePercent", typeof(decimal));

            XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(FILENAME);

            foreach (XElement dip in doc.Root.Elements())
            {
                dt.Rows.Add(new object[] {
                    dip.Name.LocalName,
                    (string)dip.Element("sDipStatus"),
                    (decimal)dip.Element("rSubstrateWeight"),
                    (decimal)dip.Element("rWetScale1"),
                    (decimal)dip.Element("rWetUptakeWeight"),
                    (decimal)dip.Element("rWetUptakePercent")
                });
            }

        }
    }
 
}
