 You can/should use the tcemain methods documented here:
 http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/doc_core_api/Database_t3lib_TCEm/

 example:
----
// the key is 'NEW' + some random number (unique)
$data['fe_users']['NEW12345'] = array(
    'username' => 'mustermann',
    'name' => 'Max Mustermann',
    'pid' => "13",
// .... and so on
);
$tce = t3lib_div::makeInstance('t3lib_TCEmain');
$tce->start($data, array());
$tce->process_datamap();
----

 to access the new ID grep for "substNEWwithIDs" in the source...
 (you may use the processDatamap_afterDatabaseOperations hook,
 take a look at: 
 http://typo3.org/development/articles/how-to-use-existing-hooks/)


 kind regards
