cmsObject.addUser("testuser","testpassword", "Guests", "This user is a 
test user", new java.util.Hashtable, cmsObject.C_FLAG_ENABLED);

How about using Guests for the default group? Or create your own default 
group.

Have you looked through the OpenCms code to see what they do with addGroup?

According to the code, NULL is an expected value for the parent (so is 
""). It gets the value "-1" in the database.

The group flags are in I_CmsConstants, starting with C_FLAG_GROUP_* (and 
0 seems to be the main one I see in my groups, which is C_FLAG_ENABLED 
-- a generic flag)
