You could just modify the systemd service file for tor, with something like ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/install -Z -m 02755 -o debian-tor -g debian-tor -d /var/run/tor ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/install -Z -m 02750 -o debian-tor -g debian-tor -d /var/log/tor

A little OT, but if Arm is giving you trouble perhaps try using nload or lsof to view activity on your relay. When I started running a tor relay I was very dependent on Arm to, 'see what was going on', but over time I realized that if things were going smoothly there was little need to run a background app such as Arm.
