routes_app is used to tell the routing system which applications have their own application specific routes.py (in the application folder rather than the web2py root folder). I think you want to use routes_in (probably with a matching routes_out) instead. See http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/4#Pattern-based-system.
