You should use joomla's API because there is an asset table which you don't want to screw Same question was already posted here: How to add categories in Joomla 2.5

An example how this could be handled check: https://gist.github.com/mbabker/3211464

with the setLocation, you can set the parent category

How you get the Joomla Framework in your external file can be found here: http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_create_a_stand-alone_application_using_the_Joomla!_Framework

Hope this helps your needs
