The \externalfigure commands passes the values of the width/height keys to Lua which can’t handle relative values.
When you want to dimension to Lua they have to be in the form “10pt”, "5cm” or “1200” (dimension without units are in scaled points), to convert a relative (e.g. \textwidth) in a absolute value (e.g. 12pt) you can use the \dimexpr command.
\externalfigure[…][width=\the\dimexpr.3\textwidth\relax]
