When I run the following test code

require_once("api/v2/CustomGroup.php");

$params = array(
	'title'            => 'test1',
	'name'             => 'test1',
	'extends'          => array('Organization', array('Organizational', 'Individual_level', 'Associate_level')),
	'weight'           => 1,
	'collapse_display' => 0,
	'style'            => 'Tab',
	'help_pre'         => '',
	'help_post'        => '',
	'is_active'        => 1
);

$custom_group = &civicrm_custom_group_create($params);
$group_id = $custom_group['id'];
print_r($group_id);

My group gets created as desired, except for these two fields: created_id and created_date

Is there some other parameter I need to pass, or are those related to the creation of the custom fields?

If I'm not wrong -

created_date and created_id being used to track the date and user who created custom group.
Basically created_id is mapped to contact id from civicrm_contact table and which is suppose to be logged in user.

To store these values at the time of new custom group creation you need to pass its values w/ params array.
But make sure created_id should be present as id in civicrm_contact table.

format might be like :

$params['created_id'] = pass appropriate contact id here;
$params['created_date'] = date('YmdHis');

hope this help
