Sounds like you're working in java, and I can't help you with that,
but the following XQuery code does the trick:

xquery version "1.0";
xmldb:login('/db/', 'admin', 'password'),
xmldb:create-collection('/db/', 'a/b/c')

=> creates the collection tree /db/a/b/c.  You don't have to create a
before b (and b before c etc.).

For more on the xmldb:create-collection() function, see
http://demo.exist-db.org/exist/functions/xmldb/create-collection.

My only other thought is that perhaps you weren't authenticated as a
DBA?  If you're still having trouble, please be more specific about
the error you were getting.
