Not exactly sure what the problem is here.. but you should not have to
call on the increment sequence at all durring the insert.. it's automatic

Maybe it's because you are not specifying which fields to insert into like
so:

insert into table_name (field1, field2, field3, field4)
values ('data1', 'data2', 'data3', 'data4');
