@Kim: It’s because, in your homepage, you have Full Content display mode, where you control read more text by adding more tag  in your post. But your archive pages has “Excerpt Layout”. Which will check your text before more tag with Excerpt Word Count set in “Appearance => Theme Options => Excerpt / More Tag Settings”. So, if the Word Count in more then your post text before more tag  then it will not display Read More. It will only display read more if the Word Count is less then your post text before more tag. So, either shift your more tag in your posts or change the “Excerpt length(words)” in “Appearance => Theme Options => Excerpt / More Tag Settings”

Is there a way to override this so that the read more will just show up where I put it?

@Kim: For that you need to change your layout to “Full Content Display” from “Appearance => Theme Options => Layout Options” or simply decrease the word count in “Appearance => Theme Options => Excerpt / More Tag Settings”

🙁 I don’t like either of those options. It seems to get the ‘read more’ to show up on most, not even all, I have to lower my settings to 10 word excerpts which looks terrible.

And if I wanted full content display I wouldn’t have had it customized to do otherwise. 🙁

@Kim: It’s because you are mixing up with Full Content and Excerpt Content. Why don’t you increase your more tag text instead of lowering your excerpt word count. Another option will be to add your excerpt content in “Excerpt Box”. Just add any number of text in Excerpt box. See this screenshot on how to show/hide excerpt box in your post https://www.pinterest.com/pin/548594798330200958/
