That pump isn't the standard DD pump, you order it with your choice of fittings.

The DD pump comes with standard G1/4 fittings for whatever barbs and his pump has no wrench fittings. It really still looks like that DD pump tho.
OP: Where did you buy the pump? Post the link of the place you got the pump from, that could help us help you.
Did you gently try putting a good pair of pliers on the bottom metal part of the barb and try to unscrew the barb?
In final, the barbs aren't the best on that pump. But the right size hose and worm/screw hose clamps would probably hold just fine, WC loops don't have a lotta pressure.
Hasn't replied in over 28 hours, must be busy or not a big deal, or fixed it.

I'd try to get the old fittings off. A good pair of pliers with a towel around the barb should give you the clamping power to unscrew them. It's standard G1/4 barbs on a DD pump if that what it is, you can use any WC barb to put back in.
