If I'm understanding correctly you're running the RHEL5 STIG content 
against a RHEL6 machine; the expected behavior in this setup would be 
for the checks to report "notapplicable." After all, it is a RHEL5 STIG ;)

If you want to do this anyway you can strip out the platform tags as 
Spencer noted:

sed -i -r -e "s/<platform.*//g" <path_to_rhel5_xccdf>
