You shouldn't be attempting to create files directly in the content store.    Instead you should be using a contentWriter.

So you create a node with nodeService or fileFolderService, get a content writer and then write the cm:content property.

// Something like this.

      ChildAssociationRef childRef = nodeService.createNode(rootNodeRef, ContentModel.ASSOC_CONTAINS, localQName, ContentModel.CONTENT, contentProps);

        ContentWriter writer = fileFolderService.getWriter(childRef.yyyy);
         writer.setMimetype(file.getMimeType());
         writer.setEncoding(file.getEncoding());
         writer.putContent(xxx);
