Do not directly manipulate the sys_file table. To import a file in FAL 
you can simply use an API function (short class names to save some space).

// Build identifier from the absolute path to the file
$identifier = PathUtility::getRelativePath(PATH_site, 
PathUtility::dirname($targetFile)) . 				 
PathUtility::basename($targetFile);

// Import it into FAL and get a file object back
/** @var \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\File $fileObject */
$fileObject = 
ResourceFactory::getInstance()->retrieveFileOrFolderObject($identifier);

// Get the UID of the new FAL record
$newRecordId = $fileObject->getUid();

This will simply use the default storage (0). If you need to add it to a 
specific storage you can use (with the $identifier from above)

$fileObject = ResourceFactory::getInstance() 
->getFileObjectByStorageAndIdentifier($storageUid, $identifier);
