The example scripts are pretty thorough -- you're just trying to do something that is not possible in the UI -- that is, create a message out of thin air and put in into a mailbox.

Your best bet is to convert to mbox format and mimick the folder organization style that Mail uses for storing local mailboxes in ~/Library/Mail.

Here's an old import script that pulls in mbox files. It used to work a few years back. I haven't verified it now, but it should give you some ideas on how to pull it off.
