see my answer as I have a similar issue
Hi - similar issue here.
Am writing multiple classes with the feature dataset set in the featuretype but only the first feature_class gets written.The rest go to the root.
It is an issue but not sure why.

Agreed.Maybe a new posting under Ideas is in order.
Thanks David,
But in that case I would not want the option to define a FDS if the "no geometry" type is selected.Allowing to define a FDS that will be ignored anyway is not good practice.

Hi
I do not think it is possible to write non-spatial tables to an ArcGIS feature dataset, they will always be written at the "root" level of the geodatabase.
The same goes for ArcCatalog too, so it's not specific to FME.
