In Armory settings (GUI) I was able to point to the bitcoin blocks database on the external drive.
According to your logfile... Armory is still looking in the default directory (/home/bob/.bitcoin/) for the bitcoin blocks:Quote

where did you copy that logfile from? Given you're running Armory using --datadir="/media/bob/Backup Plus/Armory", did you copy the logfile from that directory?
