Finally...
I hate to keep following up my own posts, but maybe it will save
someone else a bunch of hassle.
For me the secret turns out to be the following (using ADB):
The data files for the app are stored in "/data/data/<app name>/
files". However, to push new files into there, you must first change
permission (unless already changed). You can do this by:
> adb -d shell
$ su
# cd /data/data/<app name>
# chmod 777 files
# exit
$ exit

Then:
> adb -d push <file name> /data/data/<app name>/files/<file name>

A similar reverse piece of information... My application writes a data
file, which sometimes I wish to upload (pull) back to the host. A
straight pull ran into the same "Permission denied." problem. So, I
had to go into ADB and specifically set the permission wide open for
that specific file (as opposed to the "files" directory). Then I
could do an "ADB -d pull" to retrieve the file.
An open question still remains - why could not see the "/data/data/
<app name>/files" directory with file explorer, either under Eclipse
or directly with the DDMS utility? Would have been a lot simpler than
ADB. But heck, it works...
