It's ticking me off and I can't seem to get them.

Default I think you have to just cut them, if they are the ones I am thinking of
Use sidecutters or wire cutters, that should do the trick!

Where are you exactly? I might be able to stop by one of these nights - maybe tomorrow?

I use a small screwdriver stuck into the "bump" to pry up and spread the clamp.

Default Sure.. .you put it inside the loop between the two sides of the metal band... never comes in
contact with the hose. You just open it up enough to reach in with needle nose pliers to slip it off the hooks on the overlap.
