2 this is more then likely my problem, I had aurduino open but did not think it was connected as I wasn't uploading or using the java status monitor.

Yes,
#define wifi must be in your Features file, even if you're not using the wifi adapter and instead want to communicate with the Client over USB. "wifi" in the context of the features file, is a little misleading. "#define comm" might be more appropriate. With wifi defined in the features file, all you're really doing is enabling the controller to receive commands and output xml. The controller doesn't care if a usb cable is plugged into it or a wifi adapter. In fact, it outputs the exact same response no matter whats plugged in.
From here, I would:
1.) Stop the Listener service.
2.) add the #define wifi into your features file and try to recompile/upload from Arduino IDE. You might have to remove some other features from your file because wifi takes quite a bit of memory space.
3.) Upload your sketch with the fixed features file.
4.) Exit the Arduino IDE.
5.) Start the Listener up again and launch the Client.
When you want to reupload another sketch, you will need to stop the Listener to release the COM lock, open/upload/close Arduino IDE. And finally start the Listener again.
This should get you up and running.
