Help with smugmug.categories.create

dilbertdilbert Registered Users Posts: 8 Beginner grinner
I am trying to use smugmug.categories.create and smugmug.subcategories.create with XMLPRC::Lite and perl and neither one is working.
Currently I am able to login.withPassword and get albums, categories and subcategories, and create albums.
However, neither of the above calls seem to work, the categories.create creates categories with blank names, and the subcategories.create doesn't seem to do anything. I can't seem to get a result from either call. Below is the perl code for each that I am using:

my $picresult = XMLRPC::Lite
-> proxy($proxyurl)
-> call('smugmug.categories.create', $sessionid, "SomeCategory")
-> result;

my $picresult = XMLRPC::Lite
-> proxy($proxyurl)
-> call('smugmug.subcategories.create', $sessionid, "SomeSubCategory", 0)
-> result;

This is the album create and it does work:
my $picresult = XMLRPC::Lite
-> proxy($proxyurl)
-> call('smugmug.albums.create', $sessionid, $name, $category_id)
-> result;

    More info, on_debug dump
    here is a dump of the xml etc. I removed sessionid for security reasons, and added newline to <methodCall> section for readability, otherwise unchanged:

    XML got stripped above, not sure how to post without that happening, anyway here is my next question, what am I missing from the following for uploading pics (I get back the _msg OK but no pic posted)
      my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(env_proxy => 1,
     							 keep_alive => 1,
     							 timeout => 300,
     							 );
     my $url = 'http://upload.smugmug.com/photos/xmladd.mg';
     
     open (PIC_FP, "2005-01-03_074816.JPG");
     binmode(PIC_FP);
     my $picdata;
     my $len = sysread(PIC_FP,$picdata,10000000);
     print "$len\n";
     
     my $result = $ua->post($url,
     	   [ AlbumID => 275942,
     		SessionID => $sm->get_sessionid(),
     		Caption => "Test Caption",
     		ByteCount => $len,
     		Image => "Test_Image.jpg", $picdata,
     		
     	   ]);
