I am have a series of ellipses that I am using the skin solid command on. I am having "breaks" in the surface occur. They are showing up where the RED arrows are shown in the linked images. How do I make the skin solid tool make a continuous skin without these breaks? ( Image2 also shows in RED where the ellipses are located)

Set your object resolution to super fine, it may just be a display issue.

In general I find it difficult to get smooth surfaces using more than 2 profiles in a skin. For a recent project I got help from a Rhino user. He took my profiles and skinned them in Rhino using a "fit new curves through surface" or something like that. The result was perfect and behaved very nicely when imported back into CU. This sort of ultra tolerent feature would be a nice addition to CU.
