Probably too late now (I haven't looked at this subject for a while), but what I would do is to remove the support structure you have on the back side of the door now. The 2X4s are just too heavy. It will eventually ruin the hinges or tear the screws out of the door frame, due to the flex that setup allows.
Take your doors down and make a framework of 1x3s or 1x4s laid flat around the perimeter of the backside of the door, similar to the trimwork on the front, then make an "X" in the middle with the same material, from corner to corner. Glue and screw it to the back of the doors. Then take a sheet of 1/4" plywood or door-skin Luan (it's like cheap mahogany for door skins) and glue and screw it to the 1X3 framework. 1-1/4" drywall screws will work fine (just don't put them in places that will punch all the way through the front of the door). That will make a sandwich that will stiffen up the doors while not adding a lot of weight. You can also fill the center gaps with 3/4" blue foam insulation (before you add the back door skin of course) for more stiffness, as well as improve the insulation value of the doors. Don't let the 1/4" back fool you. It's the sandwich that makes the strength, not the door skin. If you want even more stiffness and stronger doors, use 2x2s for the framework, 2" foam, and 1/4" ply for the back. It's overkill for your needs, but it makes a heck of a door. Watch your (and the kids') fingers! Oh yeah. One last bit of advice. Make sure you build the doors on a perfectly flat surface (worktable or floor), because whatever curvature there is on the building surface will be built into the door and you will not be able to correct it later. edit: Oops. I just noticed the pics of the backsides of the doors are not yours. Well, the same principles apply.

I am going to replace the doors on my mini barn/shed with one of these:
http://www.selfstoragedoors.com/ I can get one for my shed for about 200 bucks. A lot more secure and I can have it connected to my wireless house alarm

My shed has one hinge that runs the whole length of each door. Every building that I looked at that had 2-3 small hinges had door sag problems.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
