I don't know, sounds like your sd card isn't work as it normally does on Android devices, and probably the two apps check for it in different ways, one of which you are hacking around to get to work and the other one isn't. You could look at the apps and see what they are doing.
As far as storing files elsewhere -- the apps are hard-coded to store on the sd card, and in fact a lot of third party apps will do this as well, so you really need an sd card of one form or another available. This could be built into your hardware and not removable, but the volume needs to be there, and it needs to be formatted as FAT (or possibly just some fs that doesn't enforce users and permissions).
