You need to run the bitcoin client manually with the -datadir= parameter and not start Armory until the bitcoin client has synced. The -datadir parameter for the bitcoin client and --satoshi-datadir= on Armory should point to the same location. Armory does not include -datadir even when --satoshi-datadir= is set. I consider this to be a bug, and it took some time to figure out.

Is the bitcoin armory website working for anyone else? If it is please send me the link you are using because every time i try the website it says it is offline.

I want to thank all members of the board for their help.
my problem was that he did not dictate the route well armory in the command line.
I had taken the armory directory and bitcoin directory to another drive that appears called "/hard disk/" but really named as "/hard\ disk/".
this I have been able to ascertain using autocomplete in the command line (tab).

You've misunderstood what went wrong. The system can't know if you intend the space to be part of a file name or divide parameters so you always need to either put file names in quotes ("/hard disk/") or escape the space (/hard\ disk/).
