Hi,
Please always give your database version (all four digits).
That's important because your issue might relate to some known bugs. Besides, that helps people giving valid solutions or workarounds.
Does the following give errors too?
INSERT INTO Xml_Demo
VALUES( XMLTYPE( BFILENAME('TEST_DIR', 'dinenth.xml'), nls_charset_id('UTF8') ) );
