services xmlrpc code to post a forum topic

I have written a javascript application that will post comments to any node in my local drupal install with and API key. The goal is to be able to use an android/iPhone mobile PhoneGap applicaiton to post content to a Drupal server.

My question is can I add topics to a Forum using the services XMLRPC interface?

I can add a node of type "forum" however that never show up in the forum.

I currently using services v2 on Drupal v6.2.2 server.

Here a simple JavaScript code snippet:

function postForumTopic(intNode,strText){
    var method = "node.save";
