For completeness incase others experience this problem.

I upgraded to 8.33 and certain that this solved the problem.

In debug settings I have the following options checked.

 Use Prog Exec if available
and
Set VDD voltage to 3.5V

I also ignore the "Can not enter debug" message which i believe just
indicates that the option "Run after successful build" option is not set.
