I don't see that the Google JS API has methods to POST comments. I think that you'll have to roll your own, using the XMLHTTPRequest object, or maybe one of the JS libraries has some interface to the HTTP methods.
I have posted essentially all my code for doing this. I'm using Ruby to POST XML strings. There's not much more to it. I am surprised that you don't see your comments. If there were a problem with cross site authentication, I don't think that your comment POSTs would succeed. I would think that you would get an error code.
