I'm glad I noticed you had started a new thread, so I didn't reply to
your Load questions on the previous thread.

Is the Create part working?

For this part, add debugging:

You should always check Load
my ($id, $msg) = $cf->Load("Foo");
unless ($id) {
    RT->Logger->error("Unable to load Foo: $msg";
    return 0;
}

Use similar RT->Logger calls below to find out where your condition is
exiting.
