So another bit of info, which may be obvious for anyone experienced, but I did not realize. I get the "Failed to parse the output of 'abd version'" message if I just launch the ddms from the command line. So it seems that the connection between ddms and adb might be the true problem.
I have also confirmed that with none of the programs (eclipse, adb and ddms) running that nothing is binding to port 8700. Once I start eclipse it binds to the port as I would expect. Thanks.
