Hi Bernardo,
First thing to say here... if you have the choice, don`t use XML-RPC
(not that well maintained) and use REST (better supported, the way to
go) instead.
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI for
REST API reference.
Read below for another small mention...

You also need to set the page's parent if you want the breadcrumbs to
show up nicely for the current page. The UI adds the parent automatically.
