We are not clairvoyant. Please post code here to see what you are POSTing to the Graph. - DMCS

You are using an old method for creating events. The event.create has been deprecated. As you can see from the documentation :

We are in the process of deprecating the REST API. If you are building a new Facebook application, please use the Graph API. While there is still functionality that we have not ported over yet, the Graph API is the center of Facebook Platform moving forward and where all new features will be found.

Please read the new documentation on events to learn about the new methods of dealing with them.

We as facebook developers are solely responsible for keeping up-to-date with the changes that 3rd party API's, on which we base our development, make to their systems. A great place to keep updated on changes and new features would be the Facebook Developers Blog and the Facebook Developers Roadmap.

What is your Post URL ?

You need to Post to /events and supply at least the name and start_time parameters. Note the start_time is strict about format, if the format is off, you will get a event id but the event is never created.

You can test this directly in Graph API explorer.
