Well I've been doing some testing and I havent found an easy fix.(apart from reinstalling the pkg)
I assumed that apptousb created a dummy app.pkg on the PS4 that pointed to the real app.pkg on the USB but I was completely wrong.
The symlink that apptousb makes is nothing like that at all. In fact, when the USB is not plugged in there is no app.pkg on the PS4 at all!
When you plug the USB drive in an app.pkg file appears in the CUSA folder on the PS4 (like it should) and it says that it is the full size (like it should).
If you try and copy it using FTP or PS4-Explorer it copies the file from the apptousb USB drive even though it is saying that it is copying it from the PS4.(That is how the symlink works and that is how apptousb works)
The problem is that I have no idea where the symlink info is stored on the PS4. I have compared the app.db for an apptousb game before and after it has been moved with apptousb and all the entries are identical.
If I can work out where the symlink info is stored then I could probably find a way to fix the problem and even add it to my HDD Upgrade Backup/Restore payload.
