Creating Jahia Users

Hi,

I'm trying to create a new Jahia user from within a jahia page visible 
only to the root user.

This is the code I've used:

String name = "harvey";
String password = "harvey";
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.setProperty("firstname", "Harvey");
properties.setProperty("lastname", "Rabbit");
properties.setProperty("email", "[email protected]");
JahiaUserManagerRoutingService userService =
                 JahiaUserManagerRoutingService.getInstance();
JahiaUser newUser = userService.createUser(name, password,
                                           name + ":1",
                                           jData.params().getSiteID(),
                                           properties);

No errors are thrown when the page is viewed but newUser is always null.

I've tried several variations on the code (including adding the ":1" to 
both name and userKey and leaving it off both), but the result is always 
a null value in the user variable, and no new user appears in the user 
administration list.

Any suggestions?

cheers
Edd
