Help app download/update/storage issue

[kunt]

Recently rooted with Odin, tried out a few different apps to try and move the apps that normally could only be installed on the phone over to the sd card to free up space and after the last one I tried I've been having issues downloading and updating any apps whether they're coming from the google play store or as an apk I download off the web. Every time I try, I get an error message saying "Insufficient storage available" even though I have plenty of room on both sd card and internal memory. Also can't move any existing aps between internal and external storage. I would try recovering from cwm but it ceases to open the cwm recovery mode and just goes straight to the standard recovery mode and I really don't want to try to do a factory reset just in case it doesn't fix the issues and ill then be stuck with no apps at all... Any ideas how to resolve this?
