I think the problem is that you're missing the schema information in your XML file, which is needed to set the columns, you could perhaps try changing the line:

dataSet.ReadXml(sourceXML);

to:

dataSet.ReadXml(sourceXML, XmlReadMode.InferSchema);

or add in XML schema information. There's more information on the ReadXml method here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.dataset.readxml.aspx and here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.xmlreadmode.aspx
