It's a while that I used hdf5 files and that package in R, but:

Is NULL the return of the hdf5load command or are you typing it on the
command line?
Anyway, .hdf5 files can contain several objects, just as R's .rda
file. load() will load an .rda file and put all objects in that file
into the workspace. Likewise, hdf5load() loads an hdf5 file and puts
all objects in that file into the workspace.

Did you try an ls() after the hdf5load() command? If the hdf5load()
command was successfull, an ls() should show you that an object with
name "dset" is now in your workspace; if I read the output above
correctly.
HTH.
