Help Switch off/restart results in disappearing apps

When I restart my phone or just switch it off (not even a soft reset) any apps installed on my SD card uninstall themselves. Surely that shouldn't happen?

I tried to move the apps to the phone storage but, even though it seems to say there is about 500MB left, when I try to transfer it says there's not enough storage space despite the apps only being about 2MB each and there's 4 of them.

Any ideas?
