My CFI
informed me that the regs require that I leave and come back to the primary
training airport, so either I move my plane to his aiport or use one of the
flight schools airplanes to do my trianing.

Part 61.93 section (a) states that you have to abide by all the regs in that
section if you are making a solo flight from one airport to the other. There are
certain exceptions that are defined in part (b). Part 61.93(b)(2) states that
you may make repeated flights to and from another airport if it is within 50 nm
if your instructor has given you adequate training and signed you off for these
flights. This paragraph exempts you from the requirement that the isntructor
sign you off for each flight -- a single sign off will do. The section, in
conjunction with part 61.87, describes in detail what training must be given and
what the signoff consists of.

Here's a possible sticking point, however. Part 61.93(d) states that the
instructor must check your cross-country planning and review the weather and
verify that the flight can be completed VFR. Perhaps this poses a problem for
your CFI. Seems to me that, since the flight is the same every time, your
preflight planning need only be checked once. Also seems to me that he can check
the weather adequately from 20 miles away. Perhaps he does not agree.
