Unable to create ExpandedTextAd for an Adgroup? Got some weird exception?

[Suresh Kumar Shenbagam]

Hi, 

I was trying to create simple ExpandedTextAd for an adgroup. The adgroup is a valid one and I am able to read ads using google adwords java APIs. But I am unable to create an ad. 

Getting the following exception:

AxisFault
 faultCode: {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Client
 faultSubcode:
 faultString: [EntityNotFound.INVALID_ID @ operations[0].operand.adGroupId; trigger:'AdGroupId: 76463905157']
 faultActor:
 faultNode:
