Still a no go, using the following:

    $tdm =& datamanager_init('Post', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost'); 
    $userinfo = fetch_userinfo($userid);
    $tdm->set_info('user', $userinfo);
    $tdm->set('userid', $userid);  
    $tdm->set('pagetext', $text); 
    $tdm->set('allowsmilie', 1); 
    $tdm->set('visible', 1); 
    $tdm->set('threadid', $threadid); 
    $tdm->set('dateline', $date); 
    $tdm->save();
