see also https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/osmand/d48vagIHpLQ I did have a similar but slightly question.
With the app App2sd you can link the internal map with the map on the sd-card. When you copy a file to the internal map and Apps2s lets you see it in the external map also. I think your phone has to be rooted for this app. I tried it briefly and it works on my pc. I use the ssh Server App form Banana Studio to copy files from my pc to my phone. This app is able to copy to my sd-card directly.
