I have been banging my head against the wall with the same issue loading raw XML into a MS SQL Server 2014 XML datatype column.
Changing the encoding of or removing the XML declaration line from the input file did not work.
Adding the following value to the jtds connection string ("Additional Parameters" option) worked.  The setting of source file encoding and the xml declaration are irrelevant.
"sendStringParametersAsUnicode=false"
jtds options:

FYI - I've also found using the AdditionalParams option of "sendStringParametersAsUnicode=false" useful when updating table data withe US default collation level of "SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS".
Without this, it often ignores any indexes and performs a full table scan.
