I solves this times ago by using a shipping method i created myself.

The code to create the order also changed from the backend singleton a 'frontend method' like this:

```
// Get the Quote to save the order
$quote = Mage::getModel('sales/quote')->setStoreId($storeId);

// Set the customer
$quote->setCustomer($customer);

// Add the product with the product options
$quote->addProduct($product, new Varien_Object($productOptions));

// Add the address data to the billing address
$billingAddress  = $quote->getBillingAddress()->addData($addressData);

// Add the adress data to the shipping address
$shippingAddress = $quote->getShippingAddress()->addData($addressData);

// Collect the shipping rates
$shippingAddress->setCollectShippingRates(true)->collectShippingRates();

// Set the shipping method /////////// Here i set my own shipping method
$shippingAddress->setShippingMethod($shippingMethod);

// Set the payment method
$shippingAddress->setPaymentMethod($paymentMethod);

// Set the payment method
$quote->getPayment()->importData(array('method' => $paymentMethod));

// Collect the prices
$quote->collectTotals()->save();

// Get the service to submit the order
$service = Mage::getModel('sales/service_quote', $quote);

// Submit the order
$service->submitAll();

// Get the new order
$newOrder = $service->getOrder();

// Get payment instance
$payment = $newOrder->getPayment();

// Set the buyer data
$this->_importPaymentInformation($payment, $order);

// Set the transaction data
$payment->setData('last_trans_id', $order['transNrPurchaseForReceiver']);

// Save the payment changes
$payment->save();

// Set the order state and save the order
$newOrder->setState(Mage_Sales_Model_Order::STATE_PROCESSING, true, $comment)->save();
```
