I have a similar (possibly related?) problem with my left side outer CV joint.  History:  It
was working fine until a few years ago when I replaced it just as a preventative measure.
Since then, the outer CV on the driver's side will periodically start making noise.  When I
check it, it is DRY of grease.  I repack it very full and bolt it back.  3000 to 5000 miles
later, it is dry.  I have no idea where the grease goes.  The boot is fine.  I have replaced it
and the boot -- no help.  I had a pro (Chirco's in Tucson) replace it and the boot -- no help.
I am thinking of just getting a big syringe and needle and shooting some grease through the
boot every 1000 miles or so.
