It took me a few hours to figure this out, but I finally found the solution.
First, download Kodi from the Play Store, then run the app. This will create the '.kodi' file that's needed to move later. Next check your external sdcard to see if the folder 'org.xbmc.kodi' has been created inside /Android/data
*This Must be here in order for this to work*
Next, follow the general steps outlined here http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=262421
ensuring that you make adjustments to the 'xbmc_env.properties' file as follows:
xbmc.data=/storage/<your external sdcard filename>/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files
Again, ensure your file path corresponds to your root sdcard path.
(I personally created a text file from a Windows PC using Notepad. I imported it, then used ES File Explorer to remove the '.txt' extension.)
Once you move the '.kodi' folder to /storage/<your external sdcard filename>/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files , clear the app cache from Application Manager. Restart Kodi, it may be dark briefly, then show the first run graphic.
You're done. [emoji6]
Also, if you need to download movies, etc from within Kodi, ensure that the file save location is inside the same path /storage/<your external sdcard filename>/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files
I have personally tested that downloads are successful to this path.
