As recommended by the error message I checked everything about the application configuration and also the keys and eventually I found the problem.
When I set the permissions in the ACS rule group I had copied and pasted the claim name fornet.windows.servicebus.actionfrom the Azure portal and hadnt spotted the <space> character on the end of it like you sometimes pick up when copying text in the browser. This meant that the listen and send permissions were not setup correctly which is why (as you would expect) my two applications could not connect to the service bus.
So lesson learnt here, if you do copy and paste into the ACS rules just be careful you dont leave a space on the end of anything otherwise it will be difficult to spot that its configured incorrectly
